A beautiful day here at The Keel Row as our pals at Staffa Trips & CalMac Ferries set off to Staffa & Iona respectively.

Great to be back at Staffa for the first trips of the season. We had a few days of good weather over the last week as these pics show.

NB: Staffa is a ‘no-drone zone’ between 1 April and 31 July, to prevent disturbance to breeding seabirds. This footage was shot on 29/3/24.

We are hiring! Excitingly this year, we have 3 Seasonal Ranger positions, one for Staffa, one for Lunga & one to cover Staffa, Lunga & Iona!

Episode 73 Cressida Cowell is now live! The author of the How to Train Your Dragon books, and many others beside, took time to talk to me about Little Colonsay, which inspired much of her work. Enjoy! whatwedointhewinter.com/2023/10/10/73-…

Thanks for sharing your video Janet! Great footage!

How incredible is Fingal's Cave! 🤯 Situated on the uninhabited Isle of #Staffa , this cave is one of the best examples of volcanic basalt columns in the WORLD & dates back around 60 million years! 🤩

What a fantastic image!

Beautiful #Hebrides . Hard going but worth the effort! Columnar basalt forms giant cathedral-like space, where the waves create wonderful chocolatey resonances. Inspired Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture. #Fingalscave #Staffa near @IsleofIona VisitScotland

Billy was taking his Rabbie's group to Staffa with us when he got this excellent photo. Nice one Billy!

Walkway repairs are complete and Fingal's cave is now accessible on foot again.

Tremendous day at Staffa with Staffa Trips. The puffins were initially shy but they came in droves after we’d sat for a while. Skipper Graham Tindal even arranged sunshine for the day.

#OnThisDay (or #AroundThisDay !) in AD 563, St Columba and 12 companions are said to have arrived at the island of Iona, having travelled from Ireland.

The monastery they founded remains an important and beautiful place of pilgrimage.
