"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
Argyle, Arran and the Isles
With a vast mainland and home to 23 inhabited islands, the scenery and landscape in Argyll & the Isles will take your breath away. Arran which means "The Peaked Island" in Gaelic, is a small island off the West Coast of Scotland and lies in the Firth of Clyde. Arran is often referred to as 'Scotland in Miniature', and captures many aspects of the beauty of Scotland as a whole, with landscapes of towering granite peaks to peaceful sandy bays.
Kintyre was once described as Scotland's only "Main Island" as the peninsula would be an island, were it not for the short isthmus at Loch Tarbert.

Carraig Fhada - Isle of Islay
A dramatic lighthouse on Carraig Fhada headland on the south coast, the Port Ellen lighthouse (also known as the Carraig Fhada Lighthouse) lies opposite Port Ellen, marking the western approach to the harbour there. It comprises an unusual square masonry tower, 57 feet in height. It has no lantern; rather a light is displayed from a stumpy mast surmounting the tower. The lighthouse was built in 1832 by the Laird of Islay, Walter Frederick Campbell (1798 - 1855), in memory of his first wife, Lady Eleanor Charteris, who had died aged only 36 in September of that year.
