Arran, Islay and Jura

Second time I've been to Arran on the bike so probably wouldn't bike it there again, nice place though, and will probs go back in the, errrummm..... car and do a few of the walks up into the hills.

Isaly was OK nothing special, unless you likes yer whiskey, decided after four free shots best not to visit another distillery, canny campsite in the dunes.

Jura has one deadend single track road, and again was nowt special.

A few photos of the trip.

Ferry crossing to Arran.



Locals at the campsite.




Unphased by the human approaching with a camera.



Sunset from the pub garden.





Looking north towards the Arran hills.



Had a bit of fun feeding the gulls with a leftover bread bun (Bread cake to strange folk)



Lil ferry for the short hop to the mainland.



Deer everywhere.







On the Lil Ferry.



Ferry to Islay.





View from the tent.

Some shots from arond the island.







Largest standing Celtic Cross in Scotland according to the blurb.









Stopped here for a bit, can't really tell from the photo but the tide caused a bit of a flow through here which caught my interest.



Then these popped up.





There were a few roads with no tarmac.
