Houses on east coast of Lunga

Uploader's Comments

Lunga is one of the Slate Islands in the Firth of Lorn. The 'Grey Dog' tidal race, which runs in the sea channel to the south, Bealach a' Choin Ghlais, reaches 8 knots in full flood. The name 'Lunga' is derived from the Old Norse for 'Isle of the Longships', but almost all other place names are Gaelic in origin.
