Eriskay | Coilleag | Beach | ★★★

| [Coilleag a' Phrionnsa] |
Like large parts of the Outer Hebrides, Eriskay has a band of beautiful beaches running down its western coast. Pride of place is Coilleag a' Phrionnsa, close to where the vehicle ferry to Barra departs. The white sand lends a tropical feel even on a grey day (as when we visited), with a few rock pools particularly at the northern end. There's a history element too: Coilleag a' Phrionnsa means "the Prince's cockleshell strand" - for this is where Bonnie Prince Charlie took his first steps on Scottish land in 1745, fresh off a boat from France.
