Just at the end of the road where my Grandfather Murdo was born and brought up in the village of Gearrannan. This seaside village was built in the 1800s, the black houses have been restored and there is also a café. This was the filming location for the recent film ‘The Road Dance’ 🎥🍿

Traigh Shanndaigh (Eoropie beach) faces north west out into the Atlantic and is a very popular beach for surfers. A long beach fringed with high sand dunes and low cliffs. This beautiful beach is very popular with surfers, families with young children, walkers and swimmers. It is good for paddling but care must be taken when swimming as there can be strong currents and undertow when the sea is rough. There is a car park nearby and it is near the award-winning Eoropie Dunes play park. There are good refreshment facilities nearby and there are several good walks either north past the natural arch to the lighthouse or south following the coast with several small sandy coves.
The surrounding machair is a haven for flowers, birds and animals. In summer it is a carpet of wild orchids, clover, buttercups, etc 🌸
