Upper Eas Fors

The lowest part goes over a lava sill to the beach, not accessible from where we were. The extra is the burn heading down to the falls. For some strange reason this is called "waterfall waterfall", - Gaelic and Norse.
The day started bright and calm and has just finished with a spectacular sunset, though we only got a glimpse from our cottage. In between it was a bit grey with a couple of short showers.
We decided to climb another couple of Mull's smaller hills, including another Beinn Buidhe. A good track up to begin with as far as a very derelict township and then rough paths and bog to the rocky top of the first one. Great views in all directions, despite being hazy. 
Then a mile of rough and boggy grass to the secong top with more views - Outer Isles just visible, Coll, Tiree, Rum, Eigg, Ardnamurchan, Ulva, Gometra, Staffa, Iona and loads of small islands, as well as Mull's big mountains and the mainland.
More rough stuff on the way down as we followed the burn's general direction and then a track to the road and the falls.
On the way there we'd stopped again to look for white-tailed eagles and were rewarded with one sitting in a tree, nothing around when back past the same place this afternoon.
