Island 453 - Eilean Dubh Ceann a' Chlachain 7, Benbecula

This is a tidal island, which lies to the north of Island 6 and is linked to it at low tide. It was an easy walk across some rocks and a bit of seaweed from Island 6 to Island 7.

There are a few faint paths on the island, so presumably it is occasionally visited by other people - fishermen perhaps?  There was a very dead and very smelly sheep lying close to one of the paths.  The island is mainly covered in rough grass, bracken and heather but there were a few harebells and some thrift and tormentil in flower.
