27th April, Friday

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
