Lovely Vanessa trig on the highest point on Staffa. Day trip on the Hoy Lass to Staffa and Lunga. Amazing to see the Atlantic grey seal pubs in Port an Fhasgaidh. Superb views all round.

Just a great day out from Mull. Shame there is not really enough time for puffins, the trig point AND the caves!

Day trip from Oban to Staffa and Lunga with Calmac and Turus Mara. Superb day out. Staffa very busy with at least two large cruise ships there as well as the day-trip boats and yachts.

Argyllshire. We had one hour ashore as part of a trip to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. There were great views on this clear and sunny day. Vanessa.

Quick dash after visiting Fingal's Cave - well worth the short climb. Photo to follow.

I read the FB number on this circular pillar but had forgotten it by the time I got back to a pencil! I think it is 10371.

A calm hot sunny day on Staffa--how common is that??

Hard won trig after a sea journey from hell! Unusual tube shaped trig. A Magical spot as is Fingals Cave. Here with Peachy73, Macca and Bobby as part of Macca's last munro weekend.
