Geography
[edit | edit source]Calbha Mòr lies north of the Kylesku Bridge and west of the Duartmore Forest, in a location that is relatively inaccessible from the A894 road. It covers 70 hectares (170 acres)[2] and comprises two rounded hills, the higher of which reaches 67 metres (220 ft).[2]
It is separated from its smaller neighbour, Calbha Beag, by a channel 11 metres (36 ft) deep.[4] Calbha Beag is 45 hectares (110 acres) in area.[2]
The sheltered Bàgh Chalbha lies to the east[5] and a major fish escape from a fish farm took place here in 2003.[6]
