With more settled weather we have started our tours to Iona again. Travel time is just 70 mins. There is plemnty of time ashore and during June we are extending our time away and including a non landing trip out to Staffa.
We have been quite busy over the past couple of months. Last weekend we had a boat out filming the Scottish Islands Peaks Race for BBC Scotland's Adventure Show to be broadcast the last week of July. There should be some good shots of the 50 ft yachts in big seas, We were out there too in our RIB.
Local Wildlife - the white tailed sea eagles seem to have a chick in the nest. Our golden eagles are also back nesting. We have plenty of porpoise, there has been a smattering of dolphin but to date we have not seen a minke whale. They are expected anytime. As soon as we see them we will offer whalewatching trips. |
