About

It's best to look 2 to 3 hours either side of the high tide. Can be seen from the car park but best to take the good footpath through the trees for around 500m until you reach a vantage point looking east towards the Minch. This is a good place to scan but also take the lower path running by the sea loch as this sometimes allows very good views.
