I’m not sure what exactly they were doing, but these works at Kennacraig in November 2024 were part of the upgrades in preparation for the two new Islay ferries scheduled to arrive in early 2025
A short detour from a drive on the Kilberry Road takes you to Ardpatrick on the shore of West Loch Tarbert. I don’t know anything about this stone, if it’s an old standing stone of some sort or a much more recent addition, maybe some memorial stone? I couldn’t find anything online, if you know please let me and others know in the comments.
