A Plockton Bay at sunset in summer, a peaceful, calm mooring for the boating fraternity, Wester Ross, Scotland.

            Poem.

Amazing at sunrise.
Golden at sunset.
Plockton Bay, secluded by encircling hills
and a sea-wall headland
is a sheltered sanctuary,
a calm enclave,
a peaceful peninsula.
As if designed for mooring yachts
from the Atlantic swell,
this hidden jewel abounds in 
boat-trips, wildlife, sunken ships,
mountainous vistas and “maerl” coral beaches.
Views from the shore, the sea, the hills
and the village are varied and mercurial.
Unpretentious, largely uncommercialised
this village requires no more than being there.
Being there is enough to satisfy the soul………..
abundantly!
