After walk refreshments at the Pantry, Isle of Colonsay

An Islay walking week excursion to Colonsay and Oronsay a number of years ago. We had walked across the Strand from Colonsay to Oronsay, visited the priory and returned to Colonsay. Before catching the ferry back to Islay we had time for some refreshments at the Pantry in Scalasaig.
