Saturday morning walk

Yesterday Ailsa said that she thought she saw a dolphin or a whale as she was walking home from school, so this morning we headed up the hill (Ard Mor) by the sea to see if we could see, see?






Here are a few piccies of the adventure. Formatting the text with the piccies is hard work so you might struggle if you want more than to just soak up the beauty of it.

Ailsa's hand is looking back across the village. We live on the track disappearing over the hill just to the right (and up) of her hand.

Below the flowers is a piccy of the hills to the west of here. I've promised her we'll climb those together one day.

Next is a shot up Strath Naver. The grey area is packed full of archaeology - to be explored one day.
Then there is a shot of Coomb Island (or Neave Island). There's a disused chapel on there - with a small boat it might be fun to go explore one day. Behind Coomb Island you can see Eilean nan Ron. Don't know who Ron was or why there's an island named after him.

Ailsa spent ages watching the gulls flying around their nests. A little later she decided to practice being a gull sitting on the nest.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable little adventure and top notch quality time for me and the girl.
