The Western Seaboard-Scotland 2007 (continuation No.11)

June 4 ~ Lovely morning so went round the north of the Trotternish via Kilmuir to Staffin. Had coffee at the Columba 1400 Retreat House and also checked and sent e-mails to the family and to Chenjie and Francis in China. Then carried on to Kyle of Lochalsh and the afternoon trip on the glass-bottomed boat called Atlantis. Saw plenty of sea birds including Cormorants, Shags, Herring and Blackbacked Gulls, Oyster Catchers and some grey seals. The captain tried to find otters, dolphins and porpoises but was not lucky. Sometimes they also see Killer Whales (Orcas) and in the summer, Basking Sharks. After looking underwater at a World War II warship wreck, the captain took us to lock at an underwater forest of every type of sea plant. In the evening the meal was again at the Ferry Inn in Uig, then back to Mary's for supper and bed. (Before returning to the Ferry Inn and Mary's, took the long route back and stopped to take a few pictures on the way.)
