The Gale: First Pictures

First pictures of today's gale come from 'Kilchoan Early Bird'. This one shows waves breaking against the CalMac pier at Mingary.

Sadly, this one, of the two creel boats kept in a bay near Glen More, owned and worked by two Kilchoan fishermen, comes with a caption:

Soon for sale: two west coast fishing boats.

Reason: gales.

You are taking a battering this winter. Let's hope it abates soon. I've nominated you on my blog for the "Versatile Blogger" award. It's just a bit of fun but I wanted to highlight some of the best Scottish blogs I follow so had to include yours!

About Kilchoan

Kilchoan is a remote Scottish crofting village at the westernmost end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula, a two-hour drive to the west of Fort William. Its white houses are strung like pearls around a wide bay, looking out across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory. The year-round population of the village itself is just over a hundred, but this diary writes about all the villages of western Ardnamurchan, including Portuairk, Sanna, Achosnich, Achnaha and Kilmory.
