CARSAIG ARCHES.
These are two natural archways in the cliffs of the south coast of the Island of Mull. The one in the foreground pierces an isolated rock about 120 feet high, which is crowned by a curious column of basalt, the arch itself being about 70 feet in height. The other forms a tunnel 150 feet long, and between 50 and 60 feet wide and high, through a huge projecting mass presenting a fine basaltic "colonnade." The cliff over this latter rises to a height of 983 feet above the sea, being, in fact, the highest sea-cliff anywhere in Scotland, except those of Hoy in the Orkneys and Foula in the Shetland Isles. There are freestone quarries close at hand, the stone from which appears to have been used for the buildings at Iona.
