Staying at Kildonan a second night, I visited the hotel adjoining the campsite which was rather depressing – I decided the owners were hanging around the wrong side of the bar and a couple of youngsters were rushing round serving them first and the not many customers second. I ordered mussels which were a starter and with the amount on the plate the description almost should have been in the singular.
The harbour at Blackwaterfoot
Today I heard a cuckoo. I saw gannets flying and diving and a flock of greenfinch. Also cormorants (or shags?). And the smell of gorse.
This is a Tertiary Drumadoon sill (geology).
The lump at the end of Mull of Kintyre is called The Bastard
The King’s Caves (middle distance) – a raised beach (geology) and supposedly where Robert the Bruce studied the spider. I’m not sure that any self respecting spiders still lodge there
and it is Spring….
