loch cluanie

It was a misty morning last week as we headed to Skye from the south. As we meandered along the north shore of Loch Cluanie the mist rolled back to allow the rays of the morning sun to spotlight, on the far shore, the isolated Cluanie Lodge, nestling in a protective copse of timber.

A must stop rummage and point moment. With a camera I must add.

the Minch on a dull autumn afternoon

Whilst crossing the Minch from Uig to Tarbert last week onboard MV Hebrides on a dull autumn afternoon, a watery sun broke through cloud cover to lay a gold carpet and enlighten the day.

Then a prawn fishing boat hove into view floating on a golden tide.

The Minch on the way to the Outer Hebrides can be a magical place.
