Carsaig Arches on the Isle of Mull as seen from the sea and at the base of the Rudha Fhaoilean cliffs. Difficult to reach by foot these two arches are very different. The one on the left with the 'Keyhole' opening is pyramidal mass of rock, surmounted by the solitary shaft of a basaltic pillar. The other is on the right of the picture. It is a side on view so the openings at either end are not visible. It runs like a tunnel under the row of basalt columns and is 20 metres (66 ft) in height, has a length of 43 metres (141 ft) and a width of 20 metres (66 ft).
