From the Wikipedia article
Big Sand (Scottish Gaelic: Sannda Mhòr) is a small remote crofting village in Highland, Scotland. It is situated on the shores of the Gair Loch and is 3+1⁄2 miles (5.5 kilometres) from Gairloch village. As the name suggests it is situated beside a large, unspoiled beach. Longa Island, a small uninhabited island, is easily visible. The crofting village of North Erradale lies 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) northwest of Big Sand, along the coast road, with the village of Melvaig located 4 to 5 miles (6 to 8 kilometres) further north of North Erradale.
