As we paddled east along the great finger of the Ardnamurchan peninsula we heard whistles and cries being carried over the water by the SE wind. High on the shoulder of
Meal Clach an Daraich we spotted a shepherd. His dog was rounding up two groups of sheep. The first can be seen below and to the right of the shepherd. The other group and the dog are down among the giant boulders by the shore. That dog was working for his supper.
Ahead lay the clean blade of rock...
...at
Rubha Carrach. It looked like the...
...bow of a great stone ship.
The big swell meant that...
...we were unable to approach...
...this iconic landmark of the north Ardnamurchan coast...
...too closely. Rubha Carrach is on the rim of a giant volcanic caldera that can be easily seen in
this Google maps satellite view.
