Golden Eigg I - Sailean Dubh, Ardtoe, #Ardnamurchan

One of the first ever July sunsets I saw at Ardtoe after moving here and I’ve been hooked on them ever since. There is something very special about seeing the Small Isles of Eigg and Rùm silhouetted against a golden sky. A beautiful sight indeed.

Thanks Lester 👍🙏

Ah yes Rosie. The view from that side over the Loch is indeed stunning.

Thanks Liz, much appreciated. I’m hoping for some more, but we haven’t had many clear skies this month.

Thanks Rob, it was a fantastic place to wander round, especially on such glorious afternoons. Spent a while on the football pitch and have a lot more photos than I had space for in the blog.

Thanks Rob, much appreciated. I’ve been meaning to take at look at your blog, but have not been spending much time online recently. Must look at it this week though.
