Island 452 - Eilean Dubh Ceann a' Chlachain 6, Benbecula

This is the 5th and last island in the road chain between Grimsay and Eilean na Cille and it is joined to Eilean na Cille by a causeway.  This island has a small concrete slipway.   It has a few areas of exposed rock, some of which is covered in green and gold lichen.  Bird's foot trefoil, tormentil, clover, thrift and a white bedstraw were in flower.
