A memory from back in 2003, when there was scaffolding around Carraig Fhada lighthouse. I assume it was for painting and maybe other repairs. A Calmac ferry in the distance, I believe the MV Hebridean Isles.

During a crossing to Islay from Kennacraig the Fast Rescue Craft of the MV Hebridean Isles has been lowered down for an exercise, here it is speeding off.
