One of the many great pleasures of living in Kilchoan is visiting the neighbouring islands which all have their own unique character. One of my favourites is Muck, just to the north of Ardnamurchan. At this time of year it has a dreamy quality with meadows full of flowers and stunning views across the other islands. Strolling across the island, it is easy to believe that you are in a completely different country. Everything seems to move at a gentler pace (i.e. walking pace because there are very few cars) and it is easy to get lost in the beauty of the place.
Muck also had an exceptionally fine tea room and it was only as we were heading back for some delicious lamb burgers that we realised that the tide had gone out a little further than I had anticipated. Still that just meant that we had time to enjoy some equally delicious cake and a few more cups of tea while we waited for the tide to return and float us off the sand.Geoff Campbell
