Rubha Dubh (57°04'N., 5°54'W.), a salient point, is fronted by islets on drying reefs lying as far as 0.5 mile offshore. Ardvasar, a promontory projecting offshore about 0.3 mile from Rubha Dubh, provides shelter from S winds to Armadale Bay (57°04'N., 5°53'W.). A conspicuous castellated castle stands on high ground about 0.5 mile N of the promontory. A pier extends ENE from the N extremity of the promontory and a light is shown from a building on the pier head. There is a ro ro facility on the N side of the pier.
