Eigg

Stayed in a B'n'B just outside Arisaig. Had a lovely room and an excellent breakfast to set us on our way for the day. We arrived at Arisaig harbour in plenty of time to take the ferry over to the Isle of Eigg. It was quite a blustery day with some rain, so it turned out to be a very choppy crossing, which meant it was alot of fun. We were met at the quay by Jane's contact and we were driven to his croft for some lunch. It was then of to do our bluebell fieldwork, which went well. It was then a rapid walk back to the harbour as time was against us. Thankfully my contact realised we were going to be late so came and found us in his car, otherwise we would have missed the boat. Worn out we headed for the local restaurant for someting to eat.
