Even when the sun is not shining, the Arisaig skerries at the mouth of
Loch nan Ceall is a remarkable place. The dark rocks and seaweed are...
...interspersed with dazzling shell sand beaches. At low tide the skerries are high above the narrow channels and lagoons but even so...
...the peaks of the Rum Cuillin and...
...the Sgurr of Eigg dominate the scene.
The skerries are also home to large colonies of both common and grey seals. Interestingly Donald's motor boat got right up to them and I could sail very close but as soon as I started to paddle, they would slide into the water...
...and follow me, as seen in this photo from
Donald's blog.
