| AST TOE | East Toe | Mr Horn Factor Carrick Eday Mr Marwick Postmaster Eday Mr Harcus Cott Calfsound Eday | 080 | This name applies to the extreme north end of The Red Head which forms a very prominent feature. It first falls a distance of 15 or 20 feet from the top then it continues sloping for about 20 yards where another cliff intervenes and goes on sloping again to the lowest cliff at the high water mark, and forms a bold face from top to bottom towards the east while on the west it is a broken slope intermixed with rocks and grassy patches. |
| ENGLISHMAN'S CUT | Englishman's Cut | Mr Horn Factor Carrick Eday Mr Marwick Postmaster Eday Mr Harcus Cott Calfsound Eday | 080 | This name applies to a small hole in the face of the cliff on the east side of The Red Head about 240 yards south of the extreme head and has derived its name from an Englishman commencing to cut through to the opposite side but having got so far found it rather difficult "so says the natives". |
