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.

Seen across Loch Indaal from Port Charlotte, the old farm at Gartbreck. A brief opening in the clouds allowed the sun to break through and shine just on Gartbreck. This picture is from June 2010, the view has changed a bit since then as some of the walls and outbuildings have been taken down.

Port Charlotte across some Bowmore roofs, Isle of Islay

A view from somewhere in Bowmore (unfortunately can’t remember where I took this picture) across some house roofs (somebody will probably recognise them and know where exactly they are) and over Loch Indaal to Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay. Taken on a beautiful April afternoon over a decade ago.
