Kayak from Lochboisdale marina, launching from slipway. Located ~2-3m ~SE of the high point, exposed on rock. Standard Admiralty hydro plate, but as peregrinus says, no ship or date engraved.

Hydro plate with the usual markings but as with the nearby Beinn Bheag, the date and "HMS" name haven't been filled in. On flat outcrop within a few m of highest point of island. Half-day charter of a local boat out of Lochboisdale, for Eileanan Iasgaich, Calvay and Stuley. Landed on castle islet (interesting ruins), visited the (ex) lighthouse (now replaced by some modern gizmo).
