One of the best walks we did in spite of the weather. The sheep in the above photo were being farmed but the one below was a wild sheep.
When you maybe don't have a glazier handy this is the best option to fill in the window for protection.
The isolated farmhouse where we came ashore. Isolated houses are quite familiar around the islands but its not aways what it seems looking from the sea and there is often a good network of roads in behind somewhere, along with a town or village.
Looking back at Kyles Morar and the track up over the saddle where we had walked.
Storm clouds below with just a hint of a rainbow.
Autumn tonings where just stating to make an appearance
Our sail along Staffa Island was spectacular. This photo is taken by one of the expedition photographers on a previous trip. The lighting shows off the numerous Basalt columns which were very impressive. A very interesting island complete with a green grassy cap and numerous sea caves.
Staffa Island from a safe distance on a very wet and dull day.
The beautiful town of Tobermory with its brightly painted buildings.
I wish we could have had more time here.
Receptacles at the Tobermory Whiskey Distillery. The smell of whiskey oozed from every wall and crevice in the building!
The whiskey tasting at the end of the tour was enough to blow your top off but certainly warmed us all up.
And so it was goodbye to Tobermory and the Islands. It has been a great experience to sail through the stormy seas. The windy wet weather has been a challenge and we will be very happy to get back to warmer temperatures and a little more civilisation again.
