Belnahua
belnahua is one of the "Slate Islands" which were at the heart of the Scottish slate industry. Along with neighbouring islands of Luing, Seil and Easdale the slate quarried was used all over Scotland and there will hardly be a town anywhere which doesn't have at least one roof of Slate Islands produce !!
Belnahua is by far the smallest of the main slate islands but despite it's tiny size it supported a population of well over 100 workers at it's peak. Nowadays all that remains are crumbling ruins of workers cottages and machinery rusting in the salty sea air.
took this from a wee cessna 172 which left me feeling very sick but elated from all the wonderful scenery we saw.
