The Morage

The Morage is a name that covers a large area rather than any specific landmark or rocks. The general area of the Morage runs from Peel Slough in the north to beyond Black Slough in the south and covers the sea area, the low lying rocks (no real cliffs to talk about here) and a bit of the cultivatable land west of the rocks.  

At sea there is an area known as the Morage Bush, which is a large area of tangles (sea kelp) that is found beneath the surface of the water but never quite breaks the surface even at the lowest tide. On the landward side the field immediately to the west and next to the Bothy is the Morage Park. In between land and sea are the Morage Rocks and within these rocks there are a few landmarks and sloughs that have their own individual names.
