Barra has long been famed for its beauty - boasting beaches, hills, machair and moor - all in a small island. The stronghold of the Clan MacNeil is the most southerly of the chain of islands known as the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides. Allasdale, the old norse name of the site translating as the fairies milking place. No fairies in this photograph, but the bay is enjoyed by seals and is known as Seal Bay.

The island of Colonsay lies in the Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland. Fifteen miles to the north lies the island of Mull; the eastern and southern horizons are bounded by the islands of Jura and Islay; and to the south west, just visible from a high point on a clear day, is the coast of Donegal in Ireland. To the west lies the Atlantic, with only the Du Hirteach lighthouse standing between Colonsay and Canada. Together with its semi-detatched neighbour Oransay, it forms an island group roughly ten miles long and two miles wide.
