We got here finally at about 4 pm BST after fine sail in the brisk southerly wind, tacking down the inner sound. Customs phoned up and we are cleared in to the country - whereupon it started to rain for the first time for ages - we must be back in Scotland! The mooring was waiting for us on our arrival, with a new "private" sticker on it – we don’t quite know why and it’s a bit poncy. We're attached to the mooring with two polyester ropes plus the anchor chain as a back-up.
 
Below are our final pictures from the voyage.
