Day 45 Mull to Glencoe 70mls

Duart Castle, Mull
Ferry from Fishnish to Lochaline
Coastal road near Camas Nacroise, Loch Linnhe
Glencoe
Drizzly morning. Left Mull after a visit to Duart Castle, home of the Clan Maclean, although we decided not to go in as there were about 6 coach loads just off the ferry arriving at the same time. Caught another ferry at Fishnish, only 30 mins, to Lochaline. Drove down the narrow, winding coast road to Corran, on yet another ferry, only 10mins, landing at Onich. Decided to take a 10 mile detour to Fort William for supplies as shops are few and far between here. Wine cellar is getting low! There are very few large supermarkets, hardly any Tesco, just occasional Morrisons and Co-op.
On to Glencoe for the night. Went to the visitor centre next to the campsite and wandered round the various walks in the pine forests. Taz has been attacked by the midges, her ears are all pimply, so we all have to have a liberal dosing of Avons Skin so Soft before venturing out. Apparently, this year has been so dry the midges have appeared early. Small price to pay for dry weather!
