Watched on a late June early morning in Port Ellen after dropping off my sister at the early morning ferry, a small fishing boat leaving for a fresh catch, cruising through the calm seas. Kintyre visible on the horizon.

A view back to Port Ellen around Loch Leodamais from a walk across the Ard to the Swan’s Pool in June 2025. Port Ellen marina and the pier with the grain silo in the centre. The maltings just visible in the distance towards the right.

A slightly hidden gem on Islay, Swan’s pool behind the Ard in Port Ellen. A beautiful sheltered small natural harbour protected by rock formations just off the entrance.
