Heavy squalls of rain were driving up Loch Linnhe and hiding the mountains of Appin.
Then a chink appeared in the grey clouds...
... and a beam of sunlight fell on Eilean Balnagowan. A flock of black headed gulls wheeled in the sky round the isle. Their wheeling wings flashed white against the gloomy grey of the mist shrouded mountains.
The distant mountains of Lochaber and the Corran Narrows were calling us on to the NE but first it was time to take luncheon on this lovely isle.
