Weird skull and bones in the chapel wall.
There was also some graffiti indicating recent devil worship:
`666' and stuff like that.

A guy at Glencoe playing the bagpipes for the tourists.
A magnificent scene though, I must admit.
I think that's one of the Three Sisters in the background.

At the top of the glen. Apparently the McIains of Glencoe used to store
rustled cattle up here. Pretty cold up here: there was a lot of snow in
late May.

On the ferry leaving Oban for Craignure on Mull.

I think this is Dunollie castle, just to the north of Oban.

Traffic jam!

I'm not sure if this is Fingal's cave, or the one next to it.

Some little flowers growing on Iona.

View back towards Mull from the graveyard on Iona.
The water had a beautiful turqoise colour - could have been the Caribbean.
The guidebook said Macbeth and Macduff were both buried here.
We couldn't find their graves though.
|
|
The oldest structure on Iona. Dates from about the thirteenth century, I think.

The celtic cross outside the Abbey on Iona.

Inside the abbey.

A carving in the abbey cloisters. Looks like it has been restored slightly.

An old headstone that is displayed inside the abbey cloisters.
There's a lot of cool celtic art on these headstones.

Waiting for the ferry back to the mainland from Craignure, a rainbow appeared.
|
|
I'm not really sure where this one was taken.
