Eilidh in Skye

October sunsets over the Isle of Eigg from Aird of #Sleat #Skye.

Isle of Eigg emerging under low evening cloud, Aird of #Sleat, #Skye.

Sunset over the Sound of #Sleat, with #Eigg silhouetted against the horizon. Taken just now from the garden.

Mist over Aird of #Sleat #Skye on an autumn walk this afternoon.

There was an eerie light over a flat calm Sound of #Sleat today. The grey mist covered the usual views of Eigg. What a contrast from Storm Amy last weekend. #Skye

Waves in motion on a blustery bright day, down at the rocky shore in Aird of #Sleat #Skye

I saw the most incredible and unusual light over #Eigg this afternoon from #Sleat #Skye. This isn’t a black and white photo, it’s how the murky grey sea and sky looked today.

Isle of #Rum shrouded in cloud on a weekend walk to the Point of Sleat #Skye.

After a time away visiting family in Ireland, we are now back home to the moody skies of #Sleat #Skye. #Eigg was shrouded in cloud this afternoon from the rocky shore.

@Ootnabootwius Brilliant - glad the mist has finally cleared for you :-)

@InEilidh I'm in Skye lol

After a nearly a week covered in a dense sea mist, some sunshine broke through today at the rocky beach near our house in #Sleat #Skye

Pleasant Saturday morning on the Sound of #Sleat #Skye, out and about in the wee honwave inflatable.

@croft1a No - the sheep and deer leave it alone too 😀

@InEilidh I’m guessing the cows weren’t interested

Woke up this morning to a herd of cows in the garden #Sleat #Skye

@croft1a Yes it’s very invasive - we inherited ours quite a while ago, but it’s pretty much everywhere- by the roadside and all over the place. It’s easier to get rid of it in winter when it dies back.

@InEilidh Left to it montbretia can totally clog ground so trees sicken and nothing smaller survives except bramble. I really really wish it was taken seriously. There’s still apparently a school of thought it doesn’t spread from seed in the UK. That is certainly not true in the Hebrides

@croft1a Yes it’s all over the place round here - finally got rid of most of it in the front garden - but there’s still a lot in the back.

@InEilidh Good luck. There’s no other way to curb it but you’ll be cutting years. The upside is when you finally see it thinning & and all those stacked bulbs are rotting it’s a really fine soil. Just don’t ever turn your back on it

@croft1a Yes we keep meaning to cut that back 😀

@InEilidh Hope they eat all your montbretia for your sake

Gentle sunset over the Isle of Eigg, viewed from the garden after a perfect couple of days in #Sleat #Skye

After a changeable, cool and rainy week, yesterday the weather was sunny and dry. We took the wee honwave out for a few hours in the evening around the rocky coastline of #Sleat #Skye
