Ceannabeinne Beach
Painting No. 65
The smooth vertical cliffs of this glorious unspoiled beach are composed of the same ancient rock as nearby Beinn Ceannabeinne: Lewisian gneiss. The pink streaks in the cliffs indicate granite, whereas the darker bands are basaltic. The white sands that extend around the cliff end at low tide are protected from northerly gales by low-lying Eilean Hoan. All is set like a jewel in a flower-studded, grassy basin, marbled with crumbling walls - the last remains of the homes of ten families who farmed in this idyllic place until 1841. In 1842 they were evicted in the Clearances to Laid at nearby Loch Eriboll, onto land that was so stony that it had never before been cultivated, despite people living in the vicinity since Iron Age times. Today, amazingly, Ceanna-beinne is often still devoid of people, even though it is easily seen and accessed from the nearby parking area. Perhaps passing holidaymakers think it is too good to be true.
