Isle of Fair and the Orkney’s

Hoy of Orkney's

This post comes from a tiny fishing harbour of Kinlochbervie, at Mainland Scotland. Outer Hebrides will have to wait for better winds. The Orkney’s we had to leave behind way too early, also because of winds. A day with easterlies could not be wasted for island hopping and sightseeing in this country of  nearly constant South West. We rounded Cape Wrath, North West tip of Scotland, instead, and in the delirium after an overnight passage, landed here, in Kinlochbervie.

The passage got my day and night rythm all confuced. It's rainy and misty ourside, there is surprisingly enough mobile coverage in this desolated rock crack for putting out some pics from the sunny days we have had. Funny, but somehow the days with fog and rain dont get documented : ).

Puffins, nesting in rabbit holes, were else?

Harbour of Fair Island, We were lucky to experience one of the few sunny days they have on this foggy island half ways between Shetland and Orkneys.
