A Walk to Loch Uigeadail

This Morning i had the great pleasure of Accompanying Mickey Heads up to Loch Uigeadail . As many of you know the wall holding the water in has been leaking for over a year and they started doing repairs on it a few weeks ago , he had to go up and have a look at the building work and kindly agreed to let me tag along . Having never been up to Uigeadail i didn't realise what i'd let my self in for ! The first bit isn't too bad up to Loch Iarnan (the Closest of the two water sources to the distillery ) , this loch will also be getting some attention in the near future .

The next stage included Peat Bogs , climbing a deer fence , spotting deer and following the line of the water course , the climb up to Loch Uigeadail was very hard on the legs but worth it to get the views from the top . You could see clear across to the Mull of Kintyre and Northern Ireland .

The water in the Loch was fairly low , mainly due to the problem with the leaking wall and the repair work going on.....

So after a break we headed back down to the distillery , avoiding herds of deer amongst other things!

We decided to hit the bright lights of Bowmore for our meal this evening , having a curry at the Taj Mahal . It was excellent ! We even managed to have a drink in the Lochside beforehand , tried the Bunnahabhain Moine (festival Bottling ) , wasn;t the best peated Bunnahabhain i've had so will probably give it a miss.
