From our anchorage on Eigg we set off in bright sunshine for Kilchoan. This trip took us back around Ardnamurchan Point and into Kilchoan Bay. We saw a Minke Whale, avoided the rocks around the bay and successfully attached ourselves to a mooring buoy.
As is well known, the vikings built a lighthouse at Ardnamurchan on their victorious return from the battle of Largs, a very long time ago. Ardnamurchan also has a viking burial site and various prehistoric ruins. The peninsula was once a volcano, so we decided to walk towards its bubbling crater.
Towards the volcanic crater
On the way we saw a Yellowhammer and on the way back a Golden Eagle (yes, really) and several Skylarks.
A car drove past and stopped. The driver wound down his window and thanked us both enthusiastically for having him to dinner the previous evening. "It was nothing ". (We hadn't).
After our walk, we motored Albatross over to Tobermory. We like Tobermory.
