Kyle of Lochalsh

We booked a tour of the Kyle of Lochalsh on a glass-bottomed boat. It took us around some bird colonies,  an old shipwreck, and over some kelp beds.

Here are the boys downstairs admiring the kelp, trying to spot a few starfish!

Unfortunately the weather had been unseasonally fine and warm, meaning that a fair bit of algae had bloomed in the Loch. This reduced the visibility from the observation windows, but we still got to see quite a lot. Alexander was on the lookout for the rare 'underwarter wild haggis', which unfortunately wasn't visible today. There were sea urchins, plenty of kelp, the odd fish and a few starfish. Here is the glass bottomed boat tied up, with the Loch and the Isle of Skye in the background.
