Alternate Names: None recorded.
Notes: Roughly translated as the Trousers or the Breeches, the promontary is a high trap dyke about 11 chains (220 m) in length, jutting into the sea, in a northerly direction, at the East end of Bàgh an Dà Dhorius. The gullies on either side of the dyke forming the legs of the trousers. [ScotlandsPlaces]
