Approach notes

From the west end of Basalt Columns, Ulva, follow the main coastal path till it starts to head inland towards Livingston’s Cave. Cut across a big moss area (often boggy) and continue to follow the coastline, traversing above a line of crags till one can descend at a burn into the back of a bay. Go around the small bay and pass behind a rocky knoll (marked as a ‘fort’ on the map). Cross the remnants of an old wall to reach the end of the East Head crags on the left. Continue a short distance and descend a wide grassy gully into a bay that divides the two headlands and forms a convenient base.
