Mallaig
The rain has
not left us and the blogsite is torturous with a very weak wi-fi signal.

| 'Jacobite' Steam Train |
Every day
there is steam train excursion from Fort William to Mallaig and the service is
fully booked, reputed to pass through some of the most picturesque scenery in
the country (if you can see it).
For some
relief, I went to the station and next door visited the Heritage centre which
displayed Mallaig’s history, the growth of the fishing industry, the building
of the railway and the ferry link to the islands.
Syd went off
on one of the ferries to the islands of Eigg and Muck but he did not see much
with the mist and low hanging clouds.
A meal at
night once more in the ‘Chlachain Inn’ and a nite cap in the ‘The Steam Inn’
were the highlights of the evening.
It has
rained all day but stopped for 15 minutes at 20.00, then continued raining all
night. I am glad I have a portable
heater on board and a spare one on stand-by, the joys of visiting Scotland.
