We left Ellenabeich, otherwise known as Easdale and headed back across the island of Seil. However, we decided we’d pop down to Port Cuan from where a ferry went the short distance to Luing.
That’s Luing (pronounced Ling) behind the boats.
And there, across the ocean, was the little ferry (not a Calmac) which could take three cars if they were small enough.
But what caught the eye more were the life jackets lined up on the Port Cuan slipway.
A trip boat takes people to ride a whirlpool. The Corryvrekkan Whirlpool is said to be the third largest in the world. Being risk averse, I’d avoid that trip but there are clearly plenty of life jacketed takers.
Our next stop was at the church near Kilbrandon

Well, one ought to see stained glass by Douglas Strachan (1875 to 1950)
There we have one of his windows at Kilbrandon. He concentrated his stained glass in Scotland, but people in Sussex might like to know that some of his work can be seen in West Hoathly Church.
From the church there is a good view to Ballachuan Lock, looking rather round and the Seil Sound beyond.
Loch Seil, however, is back over the Bridge over the Atlantic and on the mainland. It was difficult to stop and get to it and we rather liked the water lilies around the edge.
They were a bit distant, but some rowan in the foreground makes up for it a bit. Otherwise – just zoom in!
We had our usual quiet evening in.
