the Great Shore
Cladach Mór
The windward shore is a chain of headlands and cliffs whose changing faces are read as records of what the water has taken.
A coast read as a countdown
The rock faces the sea and the sea obliges it. Every headland on the Cladach Mór is a record of what the water has wanted and taken: the undercut at the base, the stack that was once a headland itself, the natural arch that will last one more generation before the keystone lets go. The folk who settled here read the cliff-face the way the island-chain reads tidal charts, not as scenery but as a countdown. They have built accordingly: nothing on the edge, everything a day’s carry inland from the water, exits always clear.
Nothing on the edge
People build a day’s carry inland, keep exits clear, and treat the cliff face as practical information rather than scenery. Port Súileach’s watch is famous for a reason.
