On Ceann Iar can be found a cairn, marking the grave of the casualty quoted below. The Monach Isles lie 6 miles west of the island of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. They are uninhabited and can only be accessed by chartered or private boat. Please note that there is also a Ceann Ear. For reference, the Gaelic for west = iar, and east = ear.
