Bass Rock
Sunday 27th September 2026
I had booked to go on a boat trip around Bass Rock the month before, as always, fingers crossed that the weather would be good on the day.
Alas, I don't think the weather could have been much worse on the day!
I boarded a Loch Lomond Travel coach from Perth, in the rain, and we made our way to North Berwick where we would board a boat with Sula Boat Trips.
The rain came down heavier, the water was very choppy and whilst most of the people on the boat opted for the small sheltered seating, I braved the elements along with several others and I am so pleased I did.
I have been so lucky with the weather this year, my luck had to run out sooner or later!
I was soaked from head to toe, but my camera cover did it's job so well that barely a drop touched my kit!
The photos below are just some of my favourites of the 1.5 hour boat trip around Bass Rock and the crew was fantastic at looking after everyone and very knowledgeable about the wildlife we could see.
I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see thousands of gannets close up and I will certainly be making the trip again in the future with the hope of a drier day!
