A Kilchoan Diary: Unidentified Warship

Unidentified Warship

A warship came into the Sound of Mull yesterday evening at 6.30, moving very slowly southwards with only her navigation lights showing. The picture is very blurred, but she looks like one of the Royal Navy's Type 23 Duke Class frigates. Can anyone confirm this?

Many thanks to Hughie for spotting her.

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.
