SFPA Aircraft

The Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency's Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II, G-SMMA, was flying up and down the Sound of Mull this morning. It's a French twin turboprop, a maritime surveillance version with extra equipment such as a 360 degree radar.

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.
