4th island after the bonus small Roisinis after landing at low tide. RHSoc island trip.N.Morters18/06/2023
A mix of spongy vegetation and granite slab up the eastern slope of Cnoc Sumula became increasingly slabby and therefore easier to walk on as we approached the two An Tobha summits. Descended back to the waiting boat via the partially cairned climbers path, which runs SE-NW through the centre of the island.summitter18/06/2023
Great views on blistering hot day.lordtonult18/06/2023

Dropped off to the south of the eastern beach, and mainly easy going on lovely white gneiss pavements. Up over the tump, and then to An Tobha. This is the best island of the 5 IMHO.Gill06/08/2018

Nine hill baggers (6 of which were on the Sep 2017 St Kilda adventure) - all of us visited the five SIB-Mas, with some doing the odd Tu or two. Good company, good weather & a super adventure.ger23/05/2018
