Today was about travel as we made our way down Loch Ness on the mainland then out to the island of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. It is a slightly complicated journey at the best of times, but that complication was compounded by a one-day strike by Scotland’s CalMac ferry company. We were, in the end,  among the lucky few – our day played out perfectly and we arrived without trouble or delay.

We stopped for a stroll through colourful Tobermory before heading to our hotel where we’ve been well fed and are now watching the sun set over the Sound of Mull.
