You cant see Lealt and it is tucked around the corner. But the views are still stunning.

Looking south towards Lealt, you can see the row of rocks close to the cliffs. The rock sticking out most towards the sea is called Dubh-sgeir. It is famous for causing a boat coming up from Portree to sink in 1812. Almost every family in Culnacnoc lost a member in this accident. Many of the original families on Skye will still remember this accident and a long poem in Gaelic captures the tragedy.
