We have been away for 6 days exploring West Coast of Scotland.
On Mull for 4 nights with great weather, some sea breeze at times. but good sunbathing to be had too.
Stayed at Fidden Farm Campsite opposite Iona.
went for walks over to Island of Erraid, - bonny price charlies landed here in 1715 during Jacobite rebellion.
Also the Stevensons based themselves here building lighthouses and extracting granite.
Did some sea fishing off rocks, but caught nothing...
revisited my geology undergrad mapping area.
we had been to Iona before, so didnt bother visiting this time.
Then we went throgh Glencoe to Bridge of Orchy and camped here a night, then onto Callendar and Dunblane and home via Glenshee and Braemar
