Scottish anchorages

North of Ardnamurchan

Yes you can indeed anchor here, at least on a calm day. Go in to the gut from the north, leaving the lighthouse to port. It is so long ago since I did this that the light was still manned, and I never took any photographs - I must revisit. The three keepers were delighted to see us and took us right up to the light - what a view, like from an aeroplane. Everything was incredibly clean, not a speck of dust, brass shining - I wonder what the inside looks like now in these automated days (since 1997). I also wonder what happened to the visitors' book which went right back to when the light was established in 1904, and the war book with instructions of what to do in the event of an outbreak of hostilities. Again, it is a Stevenson light - David this time.
