As we approched the lighthouse and foghorn there was a lot of noise, unfortunately no sharks or porpoises today…
…as a couple of morons were showing off, disturbing all the nesting seabirds and frightening all the other wildlife in the area. 
The lighthouse was open and there were people taking the tour

Lovely post and lovely photographs :)
Wow! I love the Mull - what a place to live. I've been there several times, but I've yet to see a puffin, other than via a CCTV - one day, I hope!
I also love your pics.
Stunning pictures. What an advert for the area!
