Dist:0.2km<br/>The trees here grow below high water mark. It is said this is only one of two places in Scotland where they do so. Does anyone know where the other place is?

Dist:0.3km<br/>Loch Creran offers sheltered anchorage, if you have either the power and the navigation skills to get in and out of the entrance tide race, or a shallow enough draught to sneak round the back way via [[[1511395]]] as I had, in a sea kayak (and it was pretty marginal even with less than 20cm draught). There is marine farming here, too, as the strong tides sweeping water in and out reduces the impact and ensures a clean water environment for the farmed marine life.

Dist:0.3km<br/>With a fish farm in between. There is a fenced off and gravelled area on the fish farm platform allowing terns to breed.

Dist:0.4km<br/>One of the many marked trails over the island. The patch of water is the Lynn of Lorn with Lismore above it.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The low mound in the channel between Eriska and the mainland is the remains of a crannog - a prehistoric stockade or dwelling on an islet. The former ford to the island is visible beyond on this low tide picture.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Are these structures in the mud for growing mussels or oysters?

Dist:0.5km<br/>Looking towards Sgeir Caillich.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Trees don't come more gnarled than this. The long island behind is Sgeir Caillich - the skerry of the old woman.
