Mulloch na Carn from the crossing to Scalpay

Leaving Broadford

Beinn na Cailleach

Glamaig seen through Caolas Scalpay

Racing the tide to get unloaded. This is not a deep water port.

Away after the first top. The fertile belt behind Scalpay House.

The summit of Beinn Loch a Mhuilin. Raasay in the background.

The Summit, and another 1000th Party.

Congratulations to Bert Barnett.

Sgurr nan Gillean from the Summit of Mullach na Carn.

Glamaig from Beinn Loch a'Mhuillin
On the way down, heading for the western end of the island.

Mullach na Carn from Beinn Reiraig Bheag, at the west end of Scalpay

And in the other direction: Looking down Loch Ainort into the Cuillins.

Beinn na Cro to Beinn Dearg Mhor.

One of the two habitations on the island.

Marsco,Gillean,Beinn Dearg,Glamaig and Beinn Mhoill line up across the loch.

The Broadford end of the Red Hills from the North coast of Scalpay.

Leaving in the infamous dingy, the tide being too low to get anything bigger to the pier.

A Marilyn Hall of Fame day trip, organised by Phil Cooper.

Starring a total bag of 12345, between 12 of us, a 1500th hill out of Yeaman's book for Ann Bowker and a 1000th Marilyn for Bert Barnett, who becomes the 10th person known to have made it to this milestone. (oh yes and my 500th in Scotland .)

Scalpay is a large island just off Skye. A short strait separates the island from the busy A87, so traffic noise can often be heard. Not often visited, although sadly still suffering from irresponsible visitors, the island has a small range of Torridonian sandstone hills ranged about a group of attractive lochs.

While most were getting a soaking in Easter 2000, we all enjoyed a sunny day with some unusual views of Skye and Wester Ross. When Baosbheinn is one of the most prominant summits, you know you are looking from a novel angle.
