Our adventures
continued as we hired an outboard motor boat for the afternoon. We had prepared
a picnic and our plan was to visit some large islands in the middle of the
Loch. After donning our life jackets we set course for our first island; and
slowly drifted into shore. Unfortunately we had to jump out; which meant my
already wet clothing took a severe soaking as I landed on the beach. A short
walk led us to an old chapel deep in the heart of the island with tombstones of
various ages. We soon boarded and rowed back out; then let the motor kick in to
explore a ruined castle on a second island. This beach was much smaller; and we
had to row our boat in gently to reach the beach; but it was an excellent
picnic spot. The castle’s ruins were overgrown with ripe wild strawberries
which made an excellent snack.
