11:50. Here we are setting off on our our walk to the other side of the island.

12:00. How now, errr, black cow.

12:01. Regardez le mini vache.

12:05. Chie and an ominous looking standing stone.

12:36. Vera plodding along.

12:37. Nice view of Vera and the Cleadale buildings below.

12:38. Little boxes, on the hillside...

12:41. Foreboding Rum in the background there.

12:47. One of the island's dogs thought he'd join our expedition.

12:52. Nice mixture of colours here. Looks like a nice day!

12:52. Excuse me, can I help you?

12:56. Chie just about tolerating the weather.

12:59. Wandering down the track to the beach in the Laig bay.

13:01. Chie looks in danger of being left behind!

13:02. The dog's still with us then...

13:09. On the beach, Chie's not quite up to swimming though!

13:10. Took this whilst partly standing in the water.

13:11. Looks very cold!

13:13. Hmmm maybe not quite what she's used to....

13:20. The little dell where we ate lunch.

13:29. Dad and Vera discussing sandwiches.

13:38. Dad braves a bit of a paddle.

13:45. Nice waves and stuff.

13:54. The usual dabble about in rockpools...

13:57. I sat on a rock by myself for a while. It was very, very peaceful here.

13:58. Dad looking for dinner in the rockpools...

14:00. Interesting ornate bridge thing.

14:01. Looks like the setting for a perfume advert or something.

14:05. Nice rocks.

14:08. Hmmm well lots of pictures of rocks then.

14:11. Luke and Alex decide to have a wander around the rocks too.

14:20. That'll be Luke then.

14:25. Hullo Chie.

14:26. I think I'm dancing here. Not really sure why.

14:26. Hmmm...

15:07. Some of the others headed back to the house at this point...

15:41. Myself, Chie, Luke and Alex thought we'd try and find the singing sands.

15:54. I've always been a fan of stepping stones.

15:54. Keep up Chie!

16:05. The far bay is the one with the singing sands...

16:12. ...but of course we had to be awkward and go down to this really inaccessible one.

16:17. It was quite difficult getting down!

16:19. I seemed to be in front for some reason...

16:24. Nearly at the bottom now.

16:28. Here's your actual singing sands then.

16:28. Luke and Alex doing a waltz (?) across the singing sands...

16:31. The can-can - came out better on the other two cameras!

16:34. Looks more like sinking sands here!

16:40. Blimey, what an amazing fossil formation! Don't worry - it'll wash off!

16:43. Nice to be clearly labelled.

16:45. Chie's zen garden.

16:45. Experimental composition #43534.

16:45. Luke seemingly satisfied with the singing sands.

16:49. It seemed necessary at the time to climb on top of this big rock here.

16:52. Eventually we got both of us up there.

16:53. The Zen garden from above.

16:54. Luke atop the zen garden.

17:02. Leaving the singing sands now.

17:06. An interesting moth.

17:23. Strange archaic piece of machinery we encountered on the way back.

17:23. There's the Sgurr in the distance.

17:26. Marvellous landscape abounds...

17:46. The cows are sitting down... does this mean it's going to rain...?
