House ruin in Uidh With View of Castlebay, Isle of Vatersay, Hebrides,Western Isles, Scotland. SCO 6578
There is a long beautiful beach at the end of the road in Uidh. Uinessan is a tidal island, accessible by walking round the beach and across a small hill. It is known as the last resting place of Marion of the Heads. This is the island previously mentioned, where those that were drowned by her, where buried. It was coincidental that she also ended up buried here, as it was Marions’ desire to be buried in her birth place Coll. However, as her servants were taking her body to Coll, a thick fog set in as they were leaving which lead to their decision to bury her on Uinessan, also the fact that she was not well liked may have played a factor. She is said to be buried verticaly, feet first, facing Coll, but as the fog cleared the servants realised that Muldonich was obscuring the view. There is also evidience of an ancient chapel called St Brendans’ Chapel.
