Òb Ghabhsgabhaig, Loch Eishort and Black Cuillin, Skye, Highland

Òb Ghabhsgabhaig (Gavsgavaig Bay) is located just south west of the settlement of Tokavaig on the western coastline of the Sleat peninsula on Skye. The ruined remains of Dunscaith Castle, the oldest castle remains on Skye, lie nearby.
Loch Eishort is a sea loch separating the Strathaird peninsula from the upper part of the Sleat peninsula. It opens at right angles to the mouth of Loch Slapin and stretches 6.5 miles east-north-east diminishing gradually from a width of 2.5 miles to a near point.
The Black Cuillin are a mountain range on Skye off the north west coast of Scotland and contain the highest concentration of mountains over 3000 feet high in the UK (20 summits exceed this height). The mountains are a memorable sight whether the weather is bright and sunny or grey and misty as it often is on Skye. Either way they have a unique presence and can be seen from miles around both on Skye and on the mainland.
