It rained much of our 149 mile journey today from Dunoon to Carradale, but we made the most of the breaks in the rain. We had stunning views of the lochs, rain or shine.
Photo of the day
Tarbet
Dunoon
Leaving Dunoon we passed a smiley face on some wrapped bales, a good start to the day!
Loch Riddon
Morning view down Loch Riddon.
Tighnabruaich
The misty view from the hills above Tighnabruaich before we headed down into the village.A family fishing on the Kyles of Bute.
Portavadie
The ferry leaving Portavadia for Tarbet. As we watched, a bunch of cyclists that we had overtaken earlier just miss it. Lots of cyclists in Scotland on this route, and some of those hills looked real tough, rather them than us.It’s not really a secret then, is it?
Otter Ferry
A quiet pontoon at a very quiet Otter Ferry.
Castle Lachlan
The remains of Castle Lachlan, halfway up Loch Fyne.
Inveraray
We arrived at Inveraray just as a storm decided to descend on the town. So just jumped out of the car to take some quick pictures of the Castle.Jarno looking cheerful outside the jail.What could be more Scottish?The highland soldier war memorial reflected in the puddled path.The glowing seaweed and a freshly painted fishing boat bringing some colour to Inveraray Harbour.
Ardrishaig
Not much going on, just a loo break, a rusty anchor and a lighthouse.
Tarbet
Lobster pots piled on the quay at Tarbert Harbour.Borderforce patrol boat at odds with the backdrop of quaint houses on the green Tarbert hillside.
Skipness
This was the biggest surprise of the day. Several miles down a small coastal lane we found Skipness Castle.Free to wonder around, and no one else but us there to enjoy.
