Super pics, Robertson, and congratulations on the new Isle of Skye. The walks between Rockcliffe and Kippford over the hill are very pleasant but I wouldn't be so keen on walking right round the coastline on the mud.

Whoa, that's a shellova lot o' shells!

Might even say I'm a bit shell-shocked.

Where'd they all come from? Do fisherman dump 'em there? Or did you stumble upon the secret ancient burial grounds for cockles?

Hmmm, I wonder if that was the inspiration for the old hymn, "Shell We Gather at the River?"

Another great photo-journal, Robertson!

Loved the walking on water bit...
