A small unnamed wooden fishing boat under maintenance with a heavy duty Work Bench, on the breakwater of the tidal island of Ornsay, Isle of Skye

The island is tidal; that is, it is linked to the mainland at low tide. Isleornsay served as a centre for the busy herring fishery at the turn of the 19th century, and was a regular destination for steamship service from Glasgow.

Conveniently located about half way along Skye's south-east coast, the tidal island of Ornsay forms and shelters a superb natural harbour. Isleornsay or, in Gaelic, Eilean Iarmain wraps around the harbour before extending south-west along the shore to become Camuscross.

HBM and a good week to all
