An odd name — ridge of the roebucks, in translation. Rather a good spot in an easterly wind. The trouble was when I was there the wind was so strong I couldn't get ashore safely enough to explore. However, there is a lovely walk on a track round to the Kerrera Tea Garden described under the Little Horseshoe Bay anchorage — about a mile. And there is a pretty good view to the west which majors on sunsets. Once upon a time cattle were landed here from Mull and then driven over the hill to Ardantrive Bay from where they were persuaded to swim to the mainland, and so to market.
