A view of the Coigach Mountains from the largest of the Summer Isles, Tanera Mor.

            Commentary.

On a beautiful day in early September, we had camped overnight at Ullapool.
Having spent two strenuous days climbing An Teallach to the south and some peaks in Assynt to the north, we decided
to have a more relaxing day and go on a boat-trip.
A two-hour trip around some of the Summer Isles
seemed just the ticket.
Porpoises, Grey Seals, Dolphins, Gannets, Razorbills, Shags and Cormorants were all seen frequently en route.
Alas, no sign on this day of Minke or Humpback Whales,
or the mesmerising Basking Sharks.
Coll and Tiree are the mecca for the latter, gentle giants.
But the trip was splendid.
An Teallach, Gruinard Bay and the Torridon Mountains to the south, Beinn Dearg rising above Loch Broom to the east,
the Coigach Mountains to the north and the Outer Hebrides to the west.
Such views happily interrupted by a plethora of wildlife.
Days don’t get much better.
