From Trevor Potts
I took this picture of the Hebridean Princess when she anchored off the campsite a few nights ago. I am sure the Queen will be very disappointed that her holiday is over and she was not on board to enjoy a fine sunset view of Ardnamurchan.
She (the ship, not the Queen) used to be a CalMac car ferry in an earlier life and was converted to a luxury cruise ship plying the west coast of Scotland. She often anchors in the vicinity, either in Bloody Bay off Mull or, if sheltering from a northerly wind, at the foot of Ben Hiant, about 5 km from Ormsaigbeg, where she anchored in beautiful calm weather on Sunday night.
It is difficult to think of anything that could improve the wonderful view across to Mull from Ormsaigbeg but I think the Hebridean Princess probably did. Maybe next time the Queen charters her the captain will bring her here to enjoy and enhance our view.
Trevor runs the acclaimed Ardnamurchan Study Centre & Campsite in Ormsaigbeg. He leads regular local walks, including 'Fossil Hunts', 'Bugs & Beasties', and 'Crabs, Shrimps & Shells'.
My husband and I enjoyed 10 wonderful nights on the Hebridean Princess this past November... It was absolutely lovely. We hope someday we can afford to do it again!
