OK, more on that boat trip I mentioned. Get ready for Columnar Basalt Sunday! (with photos actually taken on a Friday)

The Isle of Staffa's a spectacular place. I'm not sure if it's accurate to consider it the other end of the Giant's Causeway from a scientific standpoint - they're not too far apart in age, geologically speaking, but I don't think they're actually part of the same formation separated by rising sea levels, geological uplift etc - but folklorically I think it's a fair enough assessment.

We got really lucky with the weather conditions. There's a little concrete jetty that boats can pull up to, but I think it might be submerged at high tide and it's not safe to try and land on the island if the sea is too choppy. As for Fingal's Cave, if you wanted to actually go into it by water you might be able to do it with something like a sea kayak, but anything much bigger would likely get wrecked; the long, tunnel-like shape of the cave means it gets quite a high swell even if the sea outside is fairly calm.

Appropriate musical accompaniment here.

The Isles of Mull, Iona, and Staffa

A long day lay ahead of me on the weekend I decided to go see the Islands of Mull and Iona.  For one thing, the tour left from Glasgow, so I had to take an impossibly early train, which meant I’d have to leave even earlier to walk the mile to the train station.  And when I got there, the ticket machine couldn’t locate my e-ticket, and the ticket counter was dark and closed.  So I wound up having…
