📌 Islibhig, Isle of Lewis
★★★
This collection of sea stacks between Mangersta and Islibhig make for an enjoyable short wander, being easily accessible from the minor road along the west coast of Lewis south of Timsgearraidh. Half a dozen wave-crafted pillars thrust spikily into the air just offshore, and offer great photo opportunities from a variety of angles due to the concave coastline and steep cliffs. The minor headland to the west, Àird Feinis, makes a logical point at which to turn back, and offers a cairn with views of both Mealaisbhal and the Flannan Isles.
