Storm from Cape Wrath, seen from Balnakiel Beach, Durness. Painting No. 63
Looking westwards from the high cliffs of Faraid Head, we saw dark clouds rushing in from Cape Wrath and knew we were in for a wetting. Our dash for shelter in the caves on Balnakiel Beach were in vain, but the view of the storm from sea level was ample compensation. A few minutes later the sun was shining again and the white curve of sand cut like a blade between the sparkling blue of the sea and the fresh green of the headland. The storm was less severe than it had appeared, despite coming from Cape Wrath - but, then, Cape “Wrath” is nothing to do with anger; the name derives from the Old Norse “Hvarf”, meaning “Turning Point”. It was at Cape Wrath that the Viking longships turned south for the west coast. Sutherland, this northernmost of mainland counties, is, in fact, the “Southland” of the Vikings. Things are not always as they appear, and there are compensations for every storm - though they may not always be apparent before-hand.
