Spectacular scenery

We made it this time, two visits to Coll and one to Tiree.  Pretty tricky stuff though, the swell had died down but it was still a bit tricky with the ship moving around in the seas.  
The locals will have been delighted to see the men from Hydro Electric who were there to repair their power supply, fortunately Cal Mac have their own generator to power the Link Span, otherwise not to sure what they would have done.  
These were my first visits to these Islands and they are very beautiful in their bleakness, if that makes sense?  One thing that surprised me was how low lying, or flat they are, nothing like Mull with its mountains.  Bit more like Linconshire really.
