I can’t remember its name, but after my earlier post of this dog at Laphroaig I’ve made some inquiries and found that this is indeed a local dog. It goes down to Loch Laphroaig regularly to play and make new friends. When I get a chance I’ll have to dig out its name.

A wintry view from the road to Kilchoman near Foreland on a November 2024 afternoon. Under some moody clouds the snowy Paps of Jura and other hills can be seen in the distance

A slightly different take on the snow covered Paps of Jura seen across Loch Skerrols, a wider view also taking in Octovullin as well as more of the snow covered Jura hills in November 2024.
