Another unusual sight for Dalmore visitors is an orange coloured helicopter parked outside a house in the tiny crofting village.
The chopper is on charter to Transocean for use in the salvage operations of the oil rig which grounded on the island.
The pilots are staying in accommodation in the village, which has an excellent view
of the stricken rig -
The helicopter has been ferrying supplies and food to the salvage engineers camped out on the rig.
Salvage helicopter pilots have a short commute to work
