It was found in Loch Laphroaig over a decade ago, first it was left on the pier, now the rusty old anchor is leaning against warehouse 1 of Laphroaig distillery.

If you have the time and patience a drive along the Kilberry road can be rewarding with some great views across the Sound of Jura to Islay, Jura and Gigha. This view mainly takes in Islay, with a smidgen of Jura on the right. Below us also some Highland cattle, possibly enjoying the nice view just like us?

Another view of the Robin on the Gorse at Gruinart, taken in April 2024. I like the contrast of the red feathers and yellow gorse.
