A view down Rhu Road in Port Charlotte on the shore of Loch Indaal on a nice April morning. I believe the cut on the right is called Port na Ceasach (at least that’s what I take from the OS map). Laggan Point on the other side of the loch.

An impression from the archaeological dig at Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay in June 2024. If you look closely you can just make out the Port Charlotte water treatment plant in the distance towards the left, the village of Port Charlotte is at the shore of Loch Indaal behind it.
