Walkers at a mussel bank in Loch Indaal, Isle of Islay
Image
During low tide you can walk (or ride on a horse) quite far out into Loch Indaal at the top of the loch. During an Islay walking week a few years ago we walked across the loch from the Gaelic College in Bowmore almost all the way to Bridgend (you have to return to land where the River Sorn flows into Loch Indaal). During the walk we came across this mussel bank, which Donald James (in the green jacket) pointed out to us.

A slightly outdated picture, as I think this was taken before Andrew and Alison Jackson took over. The ‘for sale’ sign and the since replaced B&B sign give it away (it’s certainly not for sale any more). They have done a fantastic job in renovating it and I hear great feedback from people who have stayed with them. I also had a wonderful time when I stayed with them (even though it was only one night).
