Rugged, windswept, rainy and raw. Stunning in its beauty.
It has inspired me to both poetry and drawing; neither worthy of sharing but rewarding none
the less.
The vivid colours of the green mountains, orange kelps, grey
stone, white washed buildings, and the blue lochs left a lasting impression. The dominating features of the island are the
layered volcanic mountains that have been sheered by glaciers defining both the
lochs and coast.
We were fortunate enough to have long spells of sunshine
interspersed with rain showers.
The principal town of Tobermory is a group of brightly
coloured buildings clustered around a small harbour. There we had our first tasting of peated and
unpeated whiskies in the Tobermory Distillery.
Later walking near our campsite on Loch Na Keal we could
recognise the smell of peat. It is like a cross between coal and wet sheep and
will always remind me of the Isle of Mull.
