Some info:
Scotland has 790 islands (130 inhabited).
It has 7000 miles of coastline.
In the 11th century the Scottish king, Malcolm Canmore, agreed that the King of Norway, Magnus Barefoot, could keep any island he circumnavigated
We leave Arran tomorrow morning (Wed) with just one circumnavigated: Holy Island (but that belongs to Tibetan Buddhists). It’s been great- on the water and on the hills. It’s a beautiful island, and with red deer regularly passing the tent and eagles soaring overhead, Lochranza makes wildlife-watching easy. We’ll be back!!!
We’re heading out to Gigha: ferry to Claonaig, drive over Kintyre then ferry from Tayinloan to Gigha, six miles long and one across.
By Nigel and Kathryn Trenchfoot (it’s raining buckets today).
A bus with a message!!

Patty, sounds as though you have had a gtreat time, take care and do keep in touch.
Pete, car fixed, fires out, no stress.
Ian and Julie, good to hear from you, the watch is proving very useful for weather prediction, altitude and compass functions, but you are right we have forgotten time, and even what day it is. What have you got planned, either in the air or on the water? Love Nigel and Kathy.
