The excitement of the island is not reaching the summit trig. However the views of the cliffs, stacks and birdlife compensate very well.Martin R11/06/2014

With: sj da; Got the tourist boat across from Tarbert and did the usual walk all around the island, taking in the Great Stack and the high point as well as the RSPB warden's hut. Drizzly day which is why we weren't climbing real hills.Ian Baines20/07/1978
