Scottish anchorages

It is a shame that this anchorage is right in the face of the prevailing wind and there is quite a lot of swell. Not only is there a fabulous beach, albeit quite touristy, and an ancient walled burial ground - Cladh Mhuire - behind it, but there is something else well worth a detour just up the hill – a combination of café for lunch and teas, art gallery, and woodland walk with outdoors sculptures (in 2010 sadly the hotel and restaurant were converted into self catering apartments). From the NE corner of the bay you can walk up a track past some of the sculptures (definitely do not take the road) to the Calgary Farmhouse (ph 01688 400256). It is a lovely place to wander around and have lunch in the café. And believe it or not it really was from this small place that migrants set out for the New World and founded the now thriving city of Calgary in Canada.
