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 from the Western Link Path on Gigha on a beautiful sunny June day. We are looking south west with the community owned wind turbines on the left and mainland Kintyre in the distance.
