Picture of a view over a loch with two small islands, one with ruins of buildingsA view over Loch Finlaggan with Eilean Mòr and Eilean na Comhairle from the hills to the east of the loch (I’m not entirely sure from where I took this picture, possibly Robolls Hill). On Eilean Mòr you can make out the ruins of the buildings, also to the right the bridge to the ‘mainland’.
