Through Kyles of Bute aboard Waverley

 

 

 

 

 

and returning later in the afternoon ...

 

 

 

It’s a lovely trip isn’t it. We did it around 14 years ago.  I don’t remember the buoys being like that though, have they been there for years or are they a recent addition?

 

It seems to spoil it, without them you get a feeling that we may not even fit through. Maybe we weren’t looking ahead though so didn’t see them. 
 

We got dropped off at Tighnabruaich on a very rickety pontoon and stopped to watch from the hill above as Waverley went back through.

 

Highly recommended journey.
