I went out and visited the #GavinMaxwell memorial today, and the "Hidden Cemetery" nearby too.

I did not get to rub the otter's nose though. The statue is on a cliff, apparently there are blackbacked gulls still nesting on it.

If anyone else is going, wear a hard hat an a poncho. Those gulls are very definite about not letting people too near the clifftop. Very fucking definite. Those things are bigger than you think.

Looking from the author Gavin Maxwell's desk (thought to have once belonged to William Wordsworth) in Eilean Ban Lighthouse Keepers Cottage out of the window over the water towards Kyleakin, Isle of #Skye for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #GavinMaxwell #WilliamWordsworth #History
Remember the Gavin Maxwell book about Otters "Ring of Bright Water" ? Well, this is where it actually happened - Sandaig (near Glenelg) or "Camusfearna" as it was known. No traces remain of the house as it burned down but what a location - it's like the Caribbean 😍😎🌴 #GavinMaxwell #RingOfBrightWater #Otter #Sandaig #Camusfearna #AerialPhotography #Drone #Scotland #Beach #Hideaway #Adventure #Novel #Writing #NatureStories
Ah well, holiday on @EileanBan Island over for another year - the spirit of #GavinMaxwell still lives on in this magic wee place 🤗 #EileanBan #Hideaway #holiday #Scotland
