Tarbert

We took a more leisurely walk into Tarbert, so we could have a proper look at the town and a rummage around the shops. This time we walked the low road, passing through woods and alongside the West Loch Tarbert. We passed a small working quay, then some wrecked boats before joining the pavement on the outskirts of the town. The town sits across an isthmus and lies on East Loch Tarbert, a short inlet on Loch Fyne. Very pretty, it is, too. We enjoyed our lunch sitting on the harbour, followed by a walk around the bay. We saw a grey seal bobbing around in the water patrolling a very small area of the harbour.
After that, we climbed up to the castle for a look at the ruins. It was well placed with commanding views of the loch and harbour.
One of the way points described to us for the route into town was the highland cow, which was duly spotted on our return.Lue lisää
