Camas Holiday 2003

Ruth and I took a break from the rat-race of life in the South of England to enjoy the tranquility of the west coast of Scotland. Here are some pictures from our week!

2003-07-24_Camas_0000.jpg On the first night we were there we managed to get out in the boat and catch some Mackerel - here's Ruth with one (of 5) she caught....
2003-07-24_Camas_0002.jpg ..and me with one of my catch of 4.

2003-07-24_Camas_0006.jpg Ruth at the Knockan Crag visitor center. Knockan Crag is where geologists first discovered old rock lying on top of newer rock, giving rise to breakthroughs in the understanding of geological processes.

2003-07-24_Camas_0012.jpg The visitor center itself, tastefully blended into the landscape!
2003-07-24_Camas_0018.jpg I couldn't resist this sign at the Highland Rare Breeds farm in Elphin....
2003-07-24_Camas_0019.jpg ...and I couldn't help but think that the warning was unnecessary given the size of those horns!
2003-07-24_Camas_0023.jpg Duck and ducklings.

2003-07-24_Camas_0034.jpg Panoramic view of the area around the house (you'll need to scroll to see it all).
2003-07-24_Camas_0035.jpg The beach, looking fantastic in the sunlight. The water isn't half cold though.
2003-07-24_Camas_0038.jpg We took a cruise of the Summer Isles, taking in the seal colonies.
2003-07-24_Camas_0043.jpg Ruth on board!
2003-07-24_Camas_0044.jpg The seals took one look at us and dived into the water.

2003-07-24_Camas_0054.jpg Heather. Why? Dunno. Think I like the shade of purple or something.
