Staffa and the concert

One of the other highlights of the week was a boat trip to Staffa, about an hour's sea journey. Fortunately it was a sunny day with little wind, and the sea was pretty smooth, just a gentle swell, as this is the edge of the Atlantic, nothing west until you hit America.

Fingal's cave in particular was impressive.

 
And there was a good view from the cliff-top above across to Mull
 
But only too soon we had to get back on the boat for the return to Iona
 
While we were on Staffa the boatmen had caught a small lobster
 
After dinner the guests from the Abbey and the Macleod centre put on a show with some very talented performers of all ages.
