S1 Tiree High School - may 2004

Tirees' beaches are nice for long walks .Tiree had a couple of nice days last week and most people were out gardening or at the beach and enjoying themselves. It is nice when it is sunny because the sky is clear blue. I don’t like it when there is no light breeze because it is to hot it is lovely with a light breeze. When it is windy it is cold.

Islands have a lot of country side, and usually a few farms spread out. There’s machair, grassland, lochs, and heather.
There are lots of different sizes of island, some small, and some big, e.g. Mull’s big, and Iona’s small.
People quite often fish around the coast for crabs, fish, lobsters etc, in boats.
Islands sometimes have old ruins and brochs that people can visit, and take pictures of. The beaches are long white and sandy, and you can swim in the sea.

I live on the Isle of Tiree. It is a small island but it has a lot to do on it. It has loads of beaches and things to do, on and off the beaches.
There are windsurfing lessons and you can go sand-yachting. You can go swimming as well on the beaches.
We get lots of visitors in the holidays because of all the lovely beaches and the lovely scenery.

Chris from Tiree asked this question “what is the biggest beach on Tiree ? ” To answer his question, Gott Bay is the biggest beach.

Gott Bay is usually the busiest beach and is the busiest in the summer time with wind surfing, kite surfing and sand yachting and last but not least swimming. The Loch isn’t a beach it still gets rather busy too. Over in Caolas there is sort of a cave there but it’s not really. It’s just a big rock pool with a roof, it’s got small fish, crabs and sea urchins in it.

Here are some pictures of Tiree I took with my digital camera.
