Cloudy drizzly morning, then just cloudy and mild - no wind - and no waves - very important!

On the way to McCaig's Tower we had seen this tour offering a one hour trip to a Seal Colony for £10 each, so when we got back, and the weather had improved from drizzle to just cloudy, we decided to go. Here is the boat arriving to pick us up:
Off we went. Look who was in the boat with us. He didn't say much, but I was wondering if we were going to get back in one piece
After about twenty minutes we got to the colony - a colony of three Common Seals and one Grey Seal.
The first thing we passed was a Salmon farm. The fish were continually jumping. That that is how they got their Latin name "Salire" to leap, according to Google.
Schiehallion
When we got back to 5 High Street I had a Schiehallion
I was expecting there to be hundreds of seals in the colony, not just three and an interloper -perhaps all the others had got tired of performing for the tourists and gone off fishing for their dinner?
