12:56:33
Hello sheep!

12:56:44
Yes, we're talking to you, Mrs and Miss sheep!

13:30:14
On our way to the old ruined houses. It was very misty!

13:30:23
Getting a bit bogged down by the mist.

13:31:19
Just like gorillas in the mist... Errr, just sheep instead.

13:34:09
That must be Muck over there.

13:48:42
The mist was starting to lift again, and moved off as quickly as it came down.

13:48:54
The most isolted bothy on the whole island.

13:50:26
Bits of old ruined buildings.

13:51:52
I rather liked this little stone bridge.

13:59:53
Still a bit more mist hanging around over there.

14:06:16
Dad looking upwards.

14:15:20
Much easier to see Muck now. Turning into a really nice day!

14:17:45
Me eating a bit of orange.

14:19:56
Janie attempting to signal to Karen and Simon, who were out on their little yacht.

14:23:17
Dad attempting to see them through his binoculars.

14:26:24
Dad with Muck in the background.

14:28:15
Some more bits and pieces of ruined houses.

14:34:25
Me standing in the doorway of an ex bothy.

14:35:42
Along one of the walls.

14:38:17
Looks a bit like Dad's trying to rebuild the house here!

14:42:26
Suddenly it started to rain, so me and Dad set about building a temporary shelter.

14:47:42
Great! Dad and Janie sheltering in our little bothy renovation job.

14:49:21
The rain let up soon after and we left our little shelter behind.

14:59:39
Hmmm... still looks a bit like it might rain again.

15:05:44
Dad and Janie wandering off back to the Glebe with me going off the other way to take a closer look at the lochens.

15:07:16
A nice bit of good old fashioned lichen.

15:09:05
Another view of Muck.

15:16:19
Quite a way up the side of the hill, another little ruined building. Maybe an old sheep shelter?

15:20:04
Me with the mountain rising up behind me.

15:28:08
Luckily this dragonfly was staying put, as it took about 5 or 6 attempts to get this picture right!

15:34:29
On the top down, and the mist was making it a little difficult to work out where I was going.

15:38:42
One of the little lochens.

15:43:10
Down on the side of the lochen. It was really peaceful here.

15:43:31
Me and the lochen again.

15:53:19
The stream running away from the lochen went underground here, and you could here running water but couldn't see any.

15:54:39
Little snake monster I got from a Kinder Egg with Chie resting on a rock.

15:59:54
Down across the valley that must have been formed by the stream running down from the Lochen.

16:06:50
Lovely rolling hills.

16:14:40
Another lochen.

16:15:13
Same lochen again, with the Sgurr in the background.

16:18:47
Not sure what I was so jolly about here!

16:21:04
Little snake monster goes for a swim.

16:22:59
The Loch Eigg Monster! Just need to rub out my hand!

16:23:17
Here's Eiggy (?!) again.

16:26:30
Last lochen picture I think.

16:45:24
More of Eigg's marvellous landscape.

16:48:27
On my way back down to Galmisdale now.

16:52:29
A view of the little extra bit of island on the side of Eigg.

16:58:24
Fantastic sky!

17:05:16
Nearly back down to the Glebe now.
