Yachts on Loch Sunart below Ben Hiant on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

Poem.

 

Tobermory to Kilchoan ferry.

Across the Sound of Mull.

Trundle and lumber the superb Loch Sunart

to the isolated but incomparable

peninsula of Ardnamurchan.

 

A beam of light breaks the cloud-cover

and “super-troupers” the ancient

volcanic slopes of Ben Hiant.

 

Triangular flashes of colour splash the scene.

Skimming, dancing, darting yachts

brighten the five-mile channel,

beneath the vibrant green dykes, sills and former lava flows

of a long extinct supervolcano.
