The Vatersay Walk

Part of the Vatersay Walk
There is a walk of about 4 miles, which takes you round most of the southern part of the island.

The weather was terrific and the walk is highly recommended. There are a number of points of interest:

A memorial to those who died when the Annie Jane sank in 1853.

The remains of a bronze age hill fort.
The now deserted village of Eorasdail. This was built by the "Vatersay raiders" - crofters who had to leave neighbouring islands and came to Vatersay to establish a new life.
