An Acarsaid Mhòr

An Acarsaid Mhòr — Gaelic for 'the great anchorage' — sits on the sheltered east side of Eriskay, tucked into the Minch with mostly fishing boats for company. It's a quiet, working spot with the Eriskay ferry terminal just 3 miles away, handy if you want to nip ashore and explore the island famous for its whisky-salvage history and native ponies.
