The island of Rathlin, only a dozen miles from the Mull of Kintyre, was the last port of call on our circumnavigation of Ireland. We had
glorious weather and explored the island by bike. The lighthouse at the West end is unique in being built ‘upside down’ with the light at the bottom and the services and accommodation above. No, not an Irish
blunder but for technical reasons – to get the beam shining from the
required height. We then pottered north to Gigha, Crinan and Oban. The
23 boats in Ardminish Bay, Gigha outnumbered by 3 to 1 those we had seen on the whole trip round Ireland! Apologies for the break in blogging – due to computer failure and a mid-season break at home. Blogging will resume for the forthcoming trip to the Northern Isles.
