Southeast coast of the Island of Danna This southeast side of Danna rises steeply for a short way above the waters of Loch Sween and has a narrow band of woodland right down to tidewater. The Loch itself is very sheltered and at this point has very little tidal flow, but further up is characterised by a double high tide as the rising tide is reflected from the inland end and travels back down.

Looking for butterflies Members of the British Butterfly Conservation Society (now called Butterfly Conservation) looking for signs of marsh fritillary butterflies in the area between the road and the shore, just north of the causeway over to the Island of Danna. The late Gerry Rodway (with camera) is looking at an orchid in front of him. Gerry was the curator in charge of the orchid collection at Glasgow Botanic gardens for many years.
