Relief Islay ferry MV Lord of the Isles leaving West Loch Tarbert

Spotted from a walk on the Northern Loop on the Isle of Gigha, the MV Lord of the Isles coming out of West Loch Tarbert on her way to Islay. The MV Lord of the Isles served as relief Islay ferry in June 2023 while the regular ferries were away for their annual maintenance.

A view of the model steamer Jeanie Deans 1931 on Loch a’ Bharain from the other end, looking at her stern with paddle action nice visible on the port side of the ship. One of the various models the Mid Argyll Radio Sailing group shows on Loch a’ Bharain. Well worth a stop on a journey to/from Islay.
