We stopped last night in Loch Aline about a third of the way up the Sound of Mull, and like it so much we are staying another night before finishing our journey to Tobermoray.
This is Ardtornish House on a big estate of the same name. Admission to the grounds is via an honesty box set in the gate. We took the dinghy ashore and did a few of the walks.
This Loch has more signs of life round the banks, though well hidden in the trees. There's even a shop and a pub. The shopkeeper said that next month there will be pontoon berths in here, with water and electric and next year maybe even showers.
She didn't seem to think it was a great idea, having all those boaters being able to get a shore so easily.
Last night was very quiet but we've moved the boat up to the other end of the loch so we are now closer to the car ferry. I hope it stops before midnight and doesn't start too early.
Unexpectedly, after a misty start, we have had sun all day and have even been lying out on the deck sunbathing. I'm sure it won't last.
The view from our mooring tonight. No clouds!!!
