Under the volcanic remnants that make up Ben Hiant, yachts are sailing.

            Commentary.

Colourful sails on yachts off the shore of Ardnamurchan.
Much of this peninsula was made up of a Super-Volcano
sixty million years ago.
Amongst the dips and hollows are rocks like Dolerite, Breccia and Pitchstone.
Lava cone sheets and Moine schists, with its gleaming, glittering skin-thin layers of mica, evidence of a fiery and cataclysmic past.
Macro or micro-scale this landscape is complex, fascinating and exquisite and stunning from so many locations and vantage points.
