A view just around the corner of the cottage I was staying in on Gigha. Some cattle resting on the shore of shallow Ceann an t-Sàilein. Kintyre in the distance on the other side of the Sound of Gigha. You can’t see it from here, but the small pier at Port na Gallochoille is just around the corner of the slightly higher green ground right of centre.
Following on from the Laser dinghy models to another type of model the Mid Argyll Radio Sailing group shows on Loch a’ Bharain: paddle steamer models. This one is the Jeanie Deans 1931, which in full size used to sail on the Clyde in the 1930s to 1960s. The owner (and builder) of the Jeanie Deans also has a model of the Waverley, which he also sometimes brings to Loch a’ Bharain. Worth giving it a try on a journey to/from Islay….
A mostly cloudy June evening at the southern end of Gigha near Gròb Bàgh, looking west to Islay (centre) and Jura with the Paps of Jura (right). When I took the pictures for this panorama the sun was just hiding behind the clouds (it did show briefly at times), but it is just right of centre between Islay and Jura.
