HY5009 : Cloven Ayre

taken 12 years ago, near to Yinstay, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland

Cloven Ayre
Cloven Ayre
Loch of Swarsquoy. Once closed by a tidal gate, possibly for fish trapping, it is now a haven for birds.
The Ayre possibly pre-dates the more obvious Long Ayre - both, of course, are very old. The very rare feature (of two ayres) is sometimes called a Double Ayre.
