Start at the locked gate on the west side of the A861
between Glenuig and Kinlochmoidart at NM 673 744, OS Explorer
Map 390.
This is a long, hard walk. At very high Spring tides you may
get wet feet (but probably no worse) beyond the mine, so check
the tides.
Park the car off the road and go past the gate and down the
road to the sea.
The road goes across a tidal causeway to Shona Bheag but carry
on along the shore westwards.
Keep watching the wall on your right and you will see a point
where it rises over a small hump of rocks covered in grass.
This marks the spoil removed from a small lead mine which
the more adventurous will find, it only goes in a few metres
before the tunnel is blocked by water.
