Bright but cool day today. Chat to mrs B about local characters, and continue to update last summer's diary, using OS maps from the library, which I have to consult there. The weather is cloudy and cool, but dry. The northeasterly winds we had all winter are back with us. The mountains on the mainland stand out crystal clear against the horizon, and the binoculars show the sun to be shining on the Torridon mountains, 45 miles / 70 km to the southeast. At 9.20, seven fishing boats are visible. Two people are fishing off the rocks at Arnish
