The Sound of Mull has been empty. The only birds that seem to enjoy this sort of weather are the seagulls. One lone cormorant was trying to make his way back to their nesting site in the cliffs to the west of Kilchoan but he struggled to make progress against the onslaught. And we haven't seen a ship out there, other than the morning ferry which, amazingly, managed to get across from Tobermory before battling its way back again. CalMac's website reports that many other west coast ferries have been cancelled.
The village itself tends not to be too badly affected by a westerly as we're relatively sheltered by the hills to the north and west, but conditions will be ferocious out at the lighthouse tonight.
