11:42. Leaving the Glebe for our big walk up to the top of the Sgurr.

12:01. Dad and a gate.

12:14. Dad fraternising with the Eigg separatist movement.

12:14. A fag break near Galmisdale before making the climb.

12:28. Ooooh it looks pretty high!

12:38. A view to castle island (or was it called castle rock?) from party way up the Sgurr.

12:40. The first base camp, and everyone's got their cameras!

12:44. Really pleased with this one, even if I do say so myself.

13:15. At the base of the rocky part now, looking over the Lochens.

13:37. At the top now! I was the first there of course...

13:46. Rum's over there...

13:46. ...and Muck's down there...

13:46. Haven't I taken this picture already...?

13:47. Hmmm maybe I was trying to do north, east, south and west...

13:51. Here come the others...

13:53. Alex now officially the highest person on Eigg.

14:17. Hmmm a bit over exposed...

14:17. It was pretty cold up there - Chie's got two coats on!

14:22. Me and Chie huddling together for warmth!

14:23. I really like this one - nice one Alex!

14:23. ...another well taken picture there...

14:26. The obligatory group picture...

14:26. ...which of course has to be taken several times over when everyone's got their own camera...

14:40. Janie and Alex taking part in a traditional island ritual.

14:41. Dad joining in too here.

14:42. Down from the Sgurr, and on to the lochens...

14:45. Nice giant's causeway style formation here.

14:47. ...a bit too steep to walk!

14:54. Rum in the background, and the loch of the big women in the middle.

15:05. The steep grassy slope that Dad decided was the best way to proceed.

15:05. Everyone recovering in a heap at the bottom.

15:07. ...apart from Janie who was still on her way down...

15:18. The first lochen. Strangely someone had left some fishing rods here...

15:23. Oooooh the loch of the big women.

15:26. Luke and Chie following behind...

15:36. The little island in the middle.

15:36. Dad taken from an overhang above the Loch.

15:38. The big man of Eigg....?

15:41. Taken by me, standing in the loch.

15:58. As close as I dared get to that little island.... oooooooh....

16:00. Chie looking for a skimming stone...

16:00. There it goes...

16:11. Still the big women's loch.

16:15. Alex balances on a stone so as not to have to step in the foamy stuff.

16:17. Bizarrely there were a load of dead butterflies at the water's edge...

16:17. Quite compelling really.

16:17. Another experiment in composition.

16:18. Might have been nicer without the hat!

16:23. Sweet little lochside flowers.

16:33. The not-so-big women of Eigg.

16:36. Hmmm its a shame, the lighting's all wrong.

16:36. ...and again...

16:39. A picture of the stone I used to balance the camera on for the previous two pictures. Ironically this picture came out much better.

17:03. On the way back to the house now.

21:53. Later that evening, the Glebe from the outside, all cosy and warm looking.

21:53. Nice moon, just a bit too small!

21:53. The Manse by night... Interesting sky over the Sgurr.

21:54. ...digital zoom is never very satisfying!
