This is the observatory on Erraid. It was not made for observing stars, but was built on this spot, a hundred feet above the
sea, as a sheltered post to monitor the Dubh Artach lighthouse on its rocky perch,
fifteen miles to the south-west. Floating in the bay below is the Halmar Borge, and in the distance is the hill of Dun-I on Iona.
