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.

One of the locks on the Crinan Canal in Argyll, water flowing over the gates. Somewhere in the Dunardry area I think. A great stop on a journey to/from Islay, always something to see somewhere.

The Crinan Canal is a nice stop during any journey to/from Islay, even if it’s only to watch a Mallard Duck and its five Ducklings.
