Sunday - Stop Mucking about


Isle of Muck

An hour & a half trip to the Isle of Muck. One of the smaller Inner Hebrides. We were dropped off at the pier and headed inland. Being a Sunday the tea Shop was closed, and the island very quiet.

Walked around to Gannach and beyond to the renovated stone cottage with turf roof and the shell beaches (beaches which are covered in small shells). Spent plenty of time taking scenic shots of the views across to Eigg and Rum. On the way back we headed across to the beach on the South side, a scenic spot, but just like any other beach, it was heavily littered with plastic washed in from the sea. There were bottles, crates and even traffic bollards!

After a few abortive attempts for a short cut back we returned to Gannach and then on the road back to the boat for a cuppa and the journey back to Doune.
