A different view of the well know Lochindaal lighthouse near Port Charlotte, made by the “old” Persabus Pottery. You could put a tealight or small candle inside to light it. Sadly mine has since broken and as the pottery isn’t making these any more I haven’t been able to replace it.

They also made a similar one of the Round Church in Bowmore, something I still have and treasure.

Not a regular sight, but occasionally someone water-skiing can be spotted on Loch Indaal. Here we can see Uiskentuie in the background, another view has Bowmore in the background. Both seen from Bruichladdich pier.
