Royalty on Mull!
Posted: Friday, 11 July 2008 |
As the locals will have seen in the Oban Times, Princess Ann visited our shores - she came to Tobermory to open the new harbour building which is great - its all new and shiny and still smelt of wet paint! Lots of lovely clean loos, and facilities, and Sea Life Surveys are located in their too. In the evening we had a free concert with lots of local musicians including Iain Thomson, Sam Sedgewick, Sorren McLean - and all finished off by the Red Hot Chilli Pipers who were fantastic - hubby had to work so missed it all but daughter and I had a great time and rolled home at 1.00 in the morning.
Some photos of the event - didnt get piccies of the concert as too busy dancing about!
The new harbour building
The harbour was full - Princess Ann went down the pontoon to meet some sailors!
That is a really steep gangplank!
Thee must a caption competition for this one - what is he saying to his mate?
The Gaelic choir sounding and looking wonderful!
A wee dram for the journey?
Farewell - it was lovely meeting you!
Tobermory looking splendid from the window of the new harbour building
and finally, one of my fave birds - this was one of our White Tailed Sea Eagles flying over the garden being mobbed by a hooded crow - not a great picture - just very difficult in the excitement of the moment to focus, make sure the right lens is on etc. guess that what separates a professional photographer from amateurs like me!
Off for a week to Speyside - staying at Grantown on Spey - touring round the area - its a fantastic location - beautiful scenery - wildlife - and just kicking back!

A new life on the Isle of Mull for my husband and daughter - an attempt to escape the ratrace, live simply and enjoy the simple things in life on this tranquil island!
