From the web: "The Isle of Skye, connected to Scotland's northwest coast by bridge, is known for its rugged landscapes, picturesque fishing villages and medieval castles. The largest island in the Inner Hebrides archipelago, it has an indented coastline of peninsulas and narrow lochs, radiating out from a mountainous interior." It also has a lot of seals, seemingly masquerading as boulders.
I saw one razorbill and a few murres (also called guillemots) among the many cormorants.
"The island of Lunga is the largest of the Treshnish Isles in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The Isles are part of the Loch Na Keal National Scenic Area." From Wikipedia
It hosts the greatest aggregation of cormorants that I've ever seen.
Iona is a small island off the coast of Scotland. It is best known for its historic abbey. (See also tomorrow's post.)
From Wikipedia" "Calf of Man is a 2.50-square-kilometre (618-acre) island, off the southwest coast of the Isle of Man. It is separated from the Isle of Man by a narrow stretch of water called the Calf Sound. It has only two seasonal inhabitants. The word 'calf' derives from the Old Norse word kalfr which means a small island lying near a larger one."
We didn't land, but just admired the rugged scenery from our zodiacs.
