Acarsaid Bheag

Bay in Argyllshire

Scotland

Acarsaid Bheag

Rounding Rubha na h-Earba into Sailean na h-Earba Rounding the gently curving NW shore of Rubha na h-Earba gives us our first view of the islands we will pass before Carsaig Bay (our intended lunch stop). The rocky promontory now on our left is Rubha na h-Airde Loisgte. Visibility is starting to improve (earlier, cloudbase had seemed scarcly above head height) as the ebb tide assists our paddle SW down the Sound of Jura.
