This morning, afterwards visiting a bounding main cave on the Orkney Mainland inward driving sleet, nosotros caught the ferry dorsum to the Scottish mainland, crossing the turbulent Pentland Firth. Oblivious of the roiling bounding main too gusty winds, a minor flock of northern gannets escorted the ship, veering off at times to dive for fish.
Scotland is domicile to 40% of all northern gannets; indeed, the gannet rookery on Bass Island, inward the Firth of Forth (near Edinburgh), is the largest on Earth. On this roughshod forenoon inward Northern Scotland, it was inspiring to scout these large, hardy seabirds too I for certain appreciated their company.
Once nosotros reached shore, the Sun broke through the clouds too the winds died down. Our journeying across the Northern Coast of Scotland was both scenic too pleasant equally nosotros crossed several rivers too firths earlier fishing southwest through Northwest Scotland, mayhap the nigh spectacular share of the country. More on that landscape inward tomorrow's post.
