Island 458 - Greanam, North Uist

Greanam is a small low lying tidal island located to 200 metres to the north west of the neighbouring tidal island of Lingeigh and 200 metres north east of the coast of North Uist at Cleit.  The island is about 250 metres from east to west by 150 metres from north to south.

Greanam is covered in grass and obviously sometimes grazed by visiting sheep and cows, judging by their droppings, but there were none present when I visited.  Buttercups, daisies, bird's foot trefoil, thrift and clover were in flower when I visited on a sunny afternoon in mid June 2018.
