Absolute belter of a pic Snappy, very well done! We're looking at Scotland again next year, was that trip from Skye? And if it was, which would be a better trip in your opinion, from Mull or this one? (I won't get away with both if we do some island hopping lol)

Re: My picture of the day...
Thanks PB. With this trip out of Skye we got closer to the WTE's as they put a fish out for them and they have clearly got a bit used to it. We also had a smaller boat with less people, they do have a few different boats though. I also like the other trip out of Oban, it has views of three castles and a light house. They both have plenty of sea birds with whales, dolphins, seals & porpoise etc as potential... it is pot luck which would be better on any day, I think they are out for a similar time and price. So, not much helpPimperneBloke wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2026 8:39 am Absolute belter of a pic Snappy, very well done! We're looking at Scotland again next year, was that trip from Skye?

One of the Mull trips does that too, so I guess it'll depend where we decide to stay Ta for infoSnappyMac wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2026 11:08 amThanks PB.
