Knoydart – Day 6. O’er the sea to Skye.

What a difference a day makes! Awoke to clear blue skies. A breeze blowing but looks promising for a great day. Breakfast is at 8 then on the Mary Doune to southern Skye.
Away just after nine for a 60 minute boat trip to Skye. Called into small village of Elgol for some pictures of the Cuillin mountains. I took a walk up the hill to get a higher view point. Then down to the beach to get some rocks in the foreground of the shots. We then moved, by boat, onto Loch  Scavaig. A very scenic spot with lots of Common seals basking on the rocks. Had lunch on convenient rocks then took a walk in land taking photos along the way. The weather remained warm and sunny, it was an idyllic spot. We assembled back at the Mary Doune at 4 P.M. for the trip back to Doune.
After the evening meal:
  • Tagliatelle
  • Chicken in Cider sauce
  • Blackcurrant sorbet
  • Cheese (local) and biscuits
we tried to capture the sunset. Whilst setting up the tripod the local Red Deer stag went past but I only had the wide angle lens so could not zoom in much.
Last day tomorrow and weather looks good again so we are planning on a trip to Eigg.
