Island 449 - Eilean Dubh Ceann a' Chlachain 3, Benbecula

This is the second island in the road link between Grimsay and Eilean na Cille. It is linked to its two neighbouring islands by causeways.  It has a few stunted trees growing on it, areas of exposed rock and some patches of heather and thistles.  Lousewort, bird's foot trefoil, thrift and cottongrass were in flower.
