It was a much more casual start to the day, and a hearty traditional scottish oatmeal breakfast. Not as sunny as the previous day, but calm and warm out. Decided it was perfect weather for a boat trip around to Loch Sween!

It was close to noon by the time we had everything ready and head out of the harbour. Great Uncle D was thoroughly in his happy place behind the helm. He plotted the course over to Lussa Bay on the Isle of Jura. We dropped anchor and savoured a simple picnic in the quiet shallow sandy bay. A even spotted a buck with an impressive rack. Before long we were heading across the way towards Loch Sween.

As we rounded the point into Loch Sween, we were greeted by a herd of cattle cooling their feet in the ocean. We also noticed a fishing boat darting around checking their equipment for the daily catch. Before long we were passing the ruins of Castle Sween, apparently one of the oldest built in Scotland.

We soon arrived back at Ashfield where we had left a vehicle the night before for our return journey. We were met at the dock, and graciously offered tea and treats.

Back home Great Uncle D made us a scrumptious dinner of stuffed fish cakes, home grown beans and freshly dug potatoes! Lovely wines to enjoy too. A splash of scotch for a night cap 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Read more
