Camasunary is a small bay on the Strathaird peninsula of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Camasunary is the anglicized form of the Gaelic name, Camas Fhionnairigh, which in pronunciation sounds similar to the Scottish English. The name means Bay of the White Shieling in Gaelic. The Camasunary Fault is the name of a geological subsurface feature underlying a portion of the Isle of Skye extending under the Sea of the Hebrides.[1]
It is popular with hill walkers as it has a mountain bothy and access to the Skye Munros.
An off-road vehicle track connects to Kirkibost. The bay is privately owned, although it sits in the middle of land owned by the John Muir Trust.
