Knoydart – Day 7. Eigg & Muck

Another sunny day with clear skies and a breeze. Breakfast at 8 then 9:15 boat to the Isle of Eigg. About an a hour passage then we moored up at the pier on Eigg. The main spot was a ubiquitous shot of the red roofed building with the volcanic scenery behind. A small group then walked a circuitous route back to the pier for a cup of tea from the gift shop at the pier.
Then a short transfer onto Isle of Muck for a leisurely walk across the island spotting Gannets, sheep, chickens and horses on the beach. A very peaceful island in the warm sunshine a great way to finish the holiday trips. The journey back to the lodge was in full sunshine but a cloud bank was chasing us from behind.
Evening meal was
  • French onion soup with cheese crouton
  • Langoustine & salad
  • Fruit pudding.
No sunset on view as the cloud bank was now all over us.
Time to pack, finish the beer and prepare for the journey home tomorrow. Breakfast at 8 with luggage in Kermit.
