At anchor in the bay with Eilean nan Gabhar beyond

This small bay more or less opposite Eilean nan Gabhar makes a nice stopover with the wind off the land from the east. Ashore there are fabulous wild flowers in the spring. A carpet of sea pink, meadows full of bluebells. Hidden in the deciduous woodland are old and crumbling stone walls, so presumably this area was once farmed, although it is a very remote part of Argyll these days. Watch out when you haul up the anchor. There will be a lot of very mucky mud stuck to it.
