Tall Ships 2011

 The fleet of Tall Ships leaving the Clyde was an impressive sight.  Boats of all shapes and sizes turned out for the spectacle.

The paddle steamer, Waverley, adds to the spectacle



Around Arran

Torrisdale Bay on Kintyre, looking accross to Arran.

'Lady Chico' takes a break at Torrisdale. We could have spent all week here, a deserted beach in a remote spot.

The extraordinary volcanic plug that is Ailsa Craig, affectionately known as 'Paddy's Milestone'.

Lamlash, looking more like Switzerland with Arran's mountains rearing up behind.
