Saturday 14 September 2013 – Loch Aline to Dunstaffnage

Walked along to the marina, which looks as good as we have been told. However we needed a break from marinas. We walked past the silica sand mine, which is still in production on a small scale and had a coffee at the dive centre near the ferry pier.

We had had an extremely quiet night as the loch is well sheltered by a wood of mature trees. Gale force wind was forecast for Sunday and Monday, so although Loch Aline was very sheltered we decided to move on to Dunstaffnage as that would allow us to go ashore.

Loch Aline was as sheltered as it looks
