Camas Sgiotaig dyke (Isle of Eigg, North West Highlands, Scotland, UK)Camas Sgiotaig is found on the island of Eigg just north of the Bay of Laig, in Scotland. The beach is renowned for its ’singing sands’ which are supposed to creak under foot when dry.To make the sands sing, shuffle across them with bare feet. Singing sands occur when sand grains are completely round and between 0.1 and 0.5mm in diameter. To generate the low frequency sound of about 450Hz they must also contain silica and have the right level of humidity.References: [1] - [2]Photo credit: ©Christopher Cullen -- source link
