Another view of An Fhaoileann just south of Claggain Bay from my visit in April 2026. Again seen from Rubha a’ Bhuic looking south. Which version do you prefer?

A small but also very beautiful bay south of Claggain Bay: An Fhaoileann, which apparently “generally translates to a raised beach, a stony area, or a sandy spit along the shore”. The view is south from Rubha a’ Bhuic: towards Trudernish Point

Kind of the counterpart to the pebble beach in Claggain Bay picture, this is a view to the opposite end. While the other picture looked north, this looks to the other end, the southern end of the bay. Here the pebble beach peters out, merging into a more sandy beach.
