Isle of Kerrera

You get off the ferry and there is this hill to a flat landing/parking place where the islanders leave their vehicles. There is a composting toilet, this phone booth and some trash bins/mini dumpsters.





There are lots of gates to open and close between sheep pastures.
Only a few houses along the way, and oddly enough, a parrot sanctuary.
This boat is near the parrot sanctuary, I love how it is still tied up as if it would get away!

Caisteal nan Geimhlean

Construction of this castle on a cliff was completed in 1582.
Caisteal nan Geimhlean means castle of the fountains due to all of the natural springs in the area.





It is reportedly over a 2 mile walk from the ferry on Kerrera to the castle.
You are walking through sheep grazed meadows with stone fences toward the sea and suddenly there is a castle!
