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).
