Coldbackie Beach and the Rabbit Islands
Painting No. 51
This jewel of a beach greets all those passing by on the narrow A836 just north of Tongue. Beyond the sand lies the bumpy cluster of the Rabbit Islands, with the larger bulk of Island Roan raising its sea cliffs in the distance. Despite its more forbidding appearance, Island Roan was inhabited from 1820 until 1938. At extreme low tide, a line of breakers between the sand-bars indicates shallow water all the way from Coldbackie to the Rabbit Islands, but this tempting apparent thoroughfare is further than it looks at almost 2 miles, and should be left strictly to the seals, salmon, and other finned creatures. Coldbackie beach itself is more extensive than it appears from the road, and is a delight to explore. The scramble down and back is easier than expected and, like all that is worthwhile, the reward far outweighs the effort involved.
