Uisken

Uisken (Scottish Gaelic: Uisgean, meaning "water-bay") is a settlement on a sandy bay on the Ross of Mull in the south of the Isle of Mull, on the west coast of Scotland.

[1] Originally a series of small settlements before the clearances it was developed as a fishing and crofting settlement with a small quay, known as Port Uisken, and road over to the steamer pier at Bunessan, the development being funded by the Duke of Argyll.

A cairn is prominent on the eastern skyline.

This is believed to mark the funeral route that coffins used to be carried to the old chapel at Scoor.

There is also a large standing stone on the same ridge as the cairn about 500m to the north but this cannot be seen from Uisken.
