An unusual visitor to Loch Indaal, a cruise liner. Most of them moor at Port Ellen when they visit Islay, but the Ocean Endeavour stopped in Loch Indaal, causing a lot of attention and excitement. The tenders were ferrying passengers to and from Bowmore all day, from where they visited Bowmore distillery, Islay House Square and Finlaggan among various places.
Photographed from somewhere near Port Charlotte (can’t remember where exactly I managed to find this angle wedging the cruise liner between the rocks), some houses in Bowmore just visible in the background.

Ew… cruise ships. And they always have such cheesy names.

Many local businesses were quite happy, as they brought in quite a bit of money…
I’m sure… bit I hope it doesn’t get out of hand.

From what I understand there shouldn’t be many, as Loch Indaal isn’t very deep. This one could get in because it has a comparably shallow draft.
Yes… I wondered about that.

After her visit to Loch Indaal the cruise liner MS Ocean Endeavour is leaving Islay, here passing the Mull of Oa with the American Monument. Seen from the Rhinns of Islay, somewhere south of Port Charlotte.
