The equation posited by UKHO is provisionally accepted. Neither Cuil a' Inheaunam nor Bernera Bay is noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The latter name presumably applies to the pronounced sand-fringed indentation set into the E (mainland) shore, around NG 806 206.

Kyle Rhea Light (Kylerhea Minor Light: NG72SE 43) is at NG 78905 22220.
