A view from Fraser’s Cairn over Fraser’s Seat and Gleann Mòr with Loch Indaal and Port Charlotte in the distance. A fantastic place to slow down, sit down, maybe with a bit of music and remember the many beautiful tunes Fraser Shaw gave us.

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.
