The south coast of Eilean Shona proved to be a wild place with wooded islets and...
...rocks plunging straight into the waters of Loch Moidart. The transition of colours from the forest above to the sea below was very pleasing.
I slipped
through rocky channels, where an otter was my only companion, while Donald kept well out into the deeper water of the South Channel.
At last I spotted a sliver of silver sand cutting through the grey rocks.
Donald took a longer way round.
We had arrived at the
beautiful tidal inlet of Shoe Bay. The sand here is very soft and so has claimed many a shoe! We didn't dally long, as the tide was dropping fast.
We now left Loch Moidart and turned north up Eilean Shona's even wilder more rugged west coast. Huge boulders have tumbled from the cliffs into the sea.
