Galmisdale is the entry port to the Isle of Eigg which is the second largest of the group of Scottish islands known as the Small Isles. This shot is somewhat different to what I'll typically look to photograph, but I was particularly taken with the old steamer moored by the inner harbour wall.
The Isle of Eigg is a unique place for it's scenery and unhurried pace of life.
Dominating the skyline above Galmisdale is An Sgurr which is the largest pitchstone ridge to be found in Europe. Eigg is one of those places that just has a friendly atmosphere about it. Another highlight soon after taking this image was listening to Donna MacCulloch a local piper playing the pipes accompanied by fiddle and accordion outside the Galmisdale Bay Cafe while waiting for the ferry back to Mallaig. File 1979.
