West Loch Tarbert from Achadh-Chaorann The view across West Loch Tarbert with the prominent hill of Dun Skeig on the Kintyre peninsula from the mouth of the small tidal bay of Achadh-Chaorann. The tip of Rubha a' Bharra Ruaidh is just visible at the opposite shore of the bay.

An Doirlinn A wonderful intertidal area covered in an abundance of Knotted Wrack and Bladder Wrack forming a tombolo with Eilean Tràighe. It is difficult to tell where the water begins in the low morning light with strong reflections. The manicured fields of Ardpatrick form a green backdrop.
