Suaineabhal is isolated from the rest of the Uig group by the deep Loch Suaineabhal. Like the rest of the group it is a very rocky hill with small crags and slabs just about everywhere. Above the loch the crags are quite high, and this would not be a good descent route. The small rocky hills either side of the loch are worth a visit. As is normal with Lewis, the approaches are boggy and lochan studded with old sheilings scattered about on anything approaching fertile ground. |
