This is the cottage I stayed in during my stay on Gigha in June 2023. To be precise, my part was the white washed section on the front right. The darker part on the left and the white part at the back are other holiday cottages. It’s called The Steadings (located at North Druimachro), the one I stayed in is The Barn. Took this picture after a heavy rain shower just after I had arrived. The rest of the afternoon and most of my stay was dry and sunny.

A view from a RIB on the way to the Corryvreckan whirlpool: A beautiful old wooden boat moored below the Crinan Hotel at the western end of the Crinan Canal. I’m not entirely sure, but I believe it’s the same as this one I photographed many years earlier.
