Wednesday 10 October 2007--I breakfast at the Pier House, then sit at a picnic table in front of the Old
Forge, writing postcards and waiting for the Western Isles to arrive. As the time approaches, people begin to gather on
the pier. The boat's arrival is an event of sorts, both an important part of the village's business, and an opportunity to
socialize with villagers and visitors. I chat with two lads who walked in from Glenfinnan yesterday--met them in the pub
last night.
We land in Mallaig shortly before noon, and I am able to catch the earlier ferry for Skye. I drive out to Sligachan, hang a left, and roll into Carbost and the Talisker distillery, where I am pleased to find a bottle of Talisker Cask Strength. Some years they have it, some years they don't. I'm in Plockton by 4:30. Dinner and drinks in the Plockton Inn. I have planned to go to Applecross tomorrow, but I am feeling very tired, so I think I will let the car sit tomorrow, and relax around town. Next |
