A view from Islay’s neighbour Gigha, two sailing yachts moored near the shore of the Sound of Gigha. The view is looking north towards Ardminish Bay from North Druimachro

Riding the A817 (Detour to Islay)

If you have the time and some decent weather on your drive to Islay taking a detour via the A817 between Loch Lomond and Gare Loch / Loch Long is well worth it. This view is on the western side, looking towards the Arrochar Alps. A biker is riding the other direction while my car is parked in a layby further down.
Standing stone on West Loch Tarbert shore at Ardpatrick (Excursion from Islay)

A short detour from a drive on the Kilberry Road takes you to Ardpatrick on the shore of West Loch Tarbert. I don’t know anything about this stone, if it’s an old standing stone of some sort or a much more recent addition, maybe some memorial stone? I couldn’t find anything online, if you know please let me and others know in the comments.
