Descending Creag BhÃ n

The descent of Creag Bhàn offers a fine view over the south and west of the Isle of Gigha, and a distant Islay. In this view, Ardailly can be noted, with the covered Gigha service reservoir below. Mill Loch and High Loch can be noted to the left in the near and far distance, respectively. This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020/21.

Ardailly Mill and miller's cottage

At the far end of a long and winding track on the Isle of Gigha stands Ardailly Mill. It's in an idyllic spot on Gigha's remote west shore, looking out to the neighbouring islands of Islay and Jura. In this photograph it is seen with building works under way, transforming the old millers cottage into someone's dream house.....

Carragh an Tarbert

A distinctive standing stone beside the road at Tarbert on the Isle of Gigha. It is also known as the Druids' Stone, and A Thom, author of 'The standing stones in Argyllshire' and 'Megalithic lunar observatories', considers it to be a lunar obervatory dating from the 1st millennium BC.

East Tarbert Bay

In the bay are an offshore fish farm. The ship seems to have been there for at least several days.

Looking over TrÃ igh BhÃ n

If the tide were not so high, the white sand that gives the beach its name would be visible here. The hummock is Cnoc Largie, in the next square.

Tarbert Farm

The farm houses and steading are set back a little from the road.

Druimyeon More Farm

The name of this farm by the roadside is curious. The spelling is not Gaelic; perhaps it's a mangled version of Druim an Eoin Mòr 'The ridge of the big bird'?

Bedraggled Sheep

Even the sheep look a bit dispirited on this horrible wet day.

Looking towards the west coast of Gigha and beyond to the Paps of Jura. Just visible (towards the left) are the gables of the ruined old water mill at Port An Duin, which dates from the 18th century.
