Ard Beag and Ardmore Bay, Trumpan, Skye

Waternish is the central of the three most prominent peninsulas to project north west into the Minch from Skye. The ruin of Trumpan Church stands on a site overlooking the sea at Trumpan. This is as far as the public road goes along the west side of the Waternish Peninsula, though it is still nearly 4 miles short of the peninsula's tip at Waternish Point. Trumpan was once a thriving medieval township and the church served as its focal point.

The meadows around Trumpan Church are a site for the Corncrake, an extremely rare bird in the UK, albeit calling birds are impossible to see in the dense vegetation.
