Scientific paper

As part of a magnificent view from Ben More of Mull on July 13, my sister and I saw a striking mirage on the Coolins of Skye. To begin with, Skye and all the Highlands to the eastward of it were covered by a level sheet of white cloud, with the highest peaks just showing clear and sharp above it. Then, starting from the sea, this cloud gradually melted away, and revealed a magnificent prospect extending far past the Coolins into the mountains of Ross. But as the cloud first melted it left the Coolins strangely transformed, each of their jagged crests drawn up into a fantastic spire. In the course of a very few minutes this effect died away and the Coolins took on their natural outline.
