Lunan Bay, lying open to the E, extends from Boddin Point in Craig parish to the Lang Craig in Inverkeilor; measures 3 miles across the entrance, and 1 ¼ mile from the entrance line to the head; has an approximately semicircular outline; is flanked for about 1 mile at each end by bold rocky heights, rising to altitudes of more than 100 feet above sea-level, and partly consisting of columnar or pyramidal cliffs; has, around its head, a low sandy beach, slightly strewn with small boulders, and regularly flanked with bent-covered knolls; and, during westerly or south-westerly winds, affords safe anchorage. Its bottom is fine sand, and its strand furnishes beautiful varieties of sea-shell, and occasionally some jasper and onyx gems.
