Scottish Summer - Lamlash, Holy Isle, Inverary, Minard and Loch Gair

 
 
In Lamlash we carried on trying to catch mackerel
 
 
With some success...

 
and then some more success...

 
We also visited the Holy Isle, and saw some great rock paintings.

 
Evening fishing in Lamlash.

 
We then left Isle of Arran bound for Lough Fyne, first stop St Ninians Bay

 
And then up to Inverary











 
After my birthday we motored back down Loch Fyne to Minard


 
And then on to Loch Gair a few days later


Isle of Man, Castle Ward and onwards...

The summer has been wonderful. We spent quite a while painting and preparing the boat and then took of to see more of SW Cork.
