15 Before we descend to Castlehill Point we get the above view over Rough Firth and Auchencairn Bay with Bengairn and Screel beyond.
Zooming-in in the picture below we can see Rough Island and Screel with the Almorness peninsula lying between them. The map shown on page 01 shows Rough Firth at low tide and you can see that there is a causeway out to the island which is useable for a couple of hours either side of low tide. It is also possible to walk out to Hestan Island at low tide.
