The Malts Cruise has officially, bringing together 33 yachts from all over the world. The furthest being from

Returning to Kerrera Island gave me the opportunity to walk around it and discover how pretty and isolated it feels despite being a stone's throw from Oban. Only 30 people live here. A single track winds around and there are sheep tracks which lead through flower covered fields and hills. The sea is never far and there are a few shingle beaches which are fun to combe. It is recommended.

The following evening the festivities began. We had  a series of talks about the islands and a wildlife talk.
A tasting of Oban Whiskey and a supper and dance followed. All great fun.

Hope this piper got paid
