Mulling it over : (part 5) – views out West

 Duart Castle 

On Monday after our visit to Duart Castle we headed north to Salem and then took the road (B 8035) to Loch Na Keal and then along the Loch to finally meet the main road from Craignure to Fionnphort and thence back to Bunessan.   

Across Loch Na Keal
