Is this real?

Is this really Scotland? Scotland is having an unusual run of warm-hot weather, at least where we are on the north west coast. 

Sunsets seen each night from our home at the beach near Arisaig.



Camusdarach Beach. Seen in the Local Hero movie. We paddled, the water was only a little cold. People were swimming. The sand was very hot on our feet as we left.


Next to the main Camusdarach Beach.

The harbour at Arisaig. On our way via an hour long boat trip to the island of Eigg, the long blue shape with the fin on the horizon.

Cliffs above Laig Bay on Eigg.

Charlie, the island's only taxi driver, drove us the short distance from the harbour to his house overlooking Laig Bay, telling us many stories of island life and history. His t-shirt did say 'Don't believe a word he says...!' But we did have fun. Look him up on you-tube.

Walking down to Laig Bay beach. It was hot.

The wondrous wide beach of white sand marbled with mineral sands. The island of Rum floating on the blue water.


Another day of sunshine. On the ferry with supplies for the remote community on Knoydart Penisula which has no road access.




The view from Knoydart's only cafe. Not too shabby. 

One more sunset from our kitchen window at about 10.20pm. The sky still glows blue until after midnight as we approach the longest day of the year.

Next stop - Mull
