Castle Stalker and new pals.
Took a ride to Castle Stalker, another favorite of Turner's Met up with some new pals Edna and Les. He persuaded me to buy an electric guitar from a shop in Oban and i am grateful to him as it has helped my playing immensely. Hope to meet up with you guys again soon.
James of the Glen walk
Walk up to James of the Glens Bothey. He was the guy who featured in the story "Kidnapped"by R.L Stevenson. A real person who was hanged for the supposed murder of The "Red Fox" Colin Campbell. Sarah has earmarked this as an overnight stop on our Clansmans walk. She may be on her own !!!
Kerrara island
Went over on the ferry to Kerrara island. What a beautiful spot just off shore from Oban, five minutes.
Lovely castle which was a favorite of Turner the famous landscape painter.
The Pine Marten Trail
We walked the Pine Marten trail just south of Oban. Part of the Last Clansman's trail from Oban to Ballahulish.
Oban
Oban is a very nice town with a lovely harbour. Above the town is Mc Caig's tower which is more of a Folly than a tower. Wonderful views.
Oban camp site.
Took the canoe out for the day from the site. Caught a tiny mackeral which we had for tea.
Off to Oban
Lovely scenery on way to Oban site.
Weather was quite good and we found the site very nice. We had visited it before on a rainy night, this time it looked a lot better.
