Bloody Bay is one of these places I had been menaing to have a good look at for a while and Sunday afternoon offered a good opportunity. The north end near Ardmore Point is good for looking at the rocks - that's where we had the first field trip last year. Also, in a previous blog, I described the lighthouse path from Tobermory and beyond so that was the south end covered. You can actually get to the bit in the middle from the Ardmore forest road - a rough forestry track cuts off to the right and after fighting with brash and bracken, you come out at the place known as Glac Mhor.

There is a little inlet here:



And there is a lot of coumnar basalt about. The columns are about 4 to 6 inches across and all quite small, but still very distinctive:



And in close-up:



Great views over to Ardnamurchan from here:



And the fish farm is an obvious feature in the bay:



Here's another view, looking towards the north end of Bloody Bay and over to Ardnamurchan:



If you look closely at the shore, you'll see soething standing up, Its a dyke, seen end on and its quite remarkable. Almost looks like a man made feature - a wall of rock, but quite natural.

Anyway, thats all for today - off to Fort William later in the week, so may get a chance to go to Glen Coe and catch up with some neat geology and great hill walking. Be back soon!
