The Crinan Canal is a nice stop on the journey to (or from) Islay, here a nice view of lock 10 on a sunny June evening.

Riding the A817 (Detour to Islay)
Image
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.
