A great island to visit for puffins
by IainT  4 Jun 2024
An amazing island with superb birdlife. You've got big numbers of Puffins and Razorbills preening themselves right next to the track (only arms length away), not scared of people at all, while on the sea stack of Dun Cruit (Harp Rock) there are an estimated 15,000 Guillemots. The stack would be quite impressive even without the Guillecarpet as it's split off from Lunga proper by a slot about 20m deep but only a couple of metres wide, with the sea churning about in the bottom. There's also an abandoned village and an extensive view from the island's summit. The separate hummock 50-odd metres SE of the summit cairn is higher than it (and has a better view).
