Snow shower over Inverarish

Farewell to Raasay (6) It was time to go home. Once again it was sad to leave Raasay behind. This is a view of Inverarish taken from the ferry. A brief snow shower almost obscures the higher ground behind the village. There had been more snow showers during the night and even on Raasay, the snow-line was down nearly to the shore.

The view is NE to E over Churchton Bay from Clachan nearly to Inverarish. There had been more snow showers during the night and even on Raasay, the snow-line was down nearly to the shore.

Heading to Skye

Farewell to Raasay (2) It was time to go home. Once again I was sad to drive on to the ferry and leave Raasay. Here the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry MV Hallaig heads out into the Narrows of Raasay towards Skye . There had been more snow showers during the night and the snow-line over the mountains on Skye was much lower than the previous day.

The village of Inverarish is the largest settlement on Raasay. The two terraces of cottages were originally built to house workers at the nearby former ironstone mine. Dùn Caan (444m), the highest point on Raasay, overlooks the scene.
