INCHCOLM ISLAND

zapodziane i zapomniane zdjecia z wycieczki na wyspe inchcolm znajdujacej sie na firth of forth. dostac sie tam mozna z south queensferry oraz z newhaven harbour w edynburgu. rejs trwa okolo 40 minut (w jedna strone), koszt okolo £10. opcja zejscia na wyspe to dodatkowy koszt £4 (dla historic scotland zajmujacej sie utrzymaniem wyspy). czas na wyspie 2 lub 4 godz (2 godz wystarcza w zupelnosci)

po drodze, jesli szczescie dopisze, mozna poobserwowac foki wylejujace sie na pobliskiej malutkiej wysepce, a w sezone maskonury.

warto zabrac lornetke! warto tez zwiedzic sama kaplice oraz tunel z okresu drugiej wojny swiatowej prowadzacy na druga strone wyspy (latarka przydatna, ale nie konieczna)

lost and forgotten pictures taken during a trip to inchcolm island (on firth of forth). easiest way to get there is taking a boat from south queensferry or newhaven harbour in edinburgh. boat takes about 40 mins to reach the island, costs about £10. landing on the island costs additional £4 (for historic scotland, which maintains grounds), landing times: 2 or 4 hours (2 hrs are perfectly enough).

if you're lucky you will be able to see grey seals resting on a nearby small island, in the season you may see puffins as well. take your binoculars if you have ones! also worth exploring: inchcolm abbey and the WW2 tunnel which will take you to the other side of the island (torch will come handy, but not essential)
