A view of the MV Loch Ranza leaving Gigha for the mainland. Seen from Port na Gallochoille on a June early evening. Notice the buoy and the cormorants/shag (not sure what they are) on the rocks, one drying its wings.

Dramatic clouds over West Loch Tarbert (Journey to Islay)

A memory from a journey to Islay in November 2022. Having arrived at Kennacraig for the ferry to Port Ellen I enjoyed this cloudy yet beautiful down West Loch Tarbert while waiting for the ferry to arrive to take me to Islay. No sight of Islay just yet, but a glimpse of Gigha in the distance.
