SumDoood visited on 15th May 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 This is a 4km return walk, if you park at the "P" on the OS map. To drive onward is do-able in a 2WD family car, but though the route is flattish, it is *very* bumpy. There is no tarmac.
St Michael's Grave in the field between the shore and Kilmichael Cottage, is in fact a collapsed Neolithic burial cairn, which has become named after the much later early Christian occupation of the area.
Canmore site no. 39905.
