"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.

Kilnave Chapel - Isle of Islay
The 12th century ruined chapel of Kilnave, Cill Naoimh in Gaelic meaning the church or burial ground of the saint, has a grim history. Within this charming little chapel, 30 MacLean clansmen were burnt to death in 1598 by Islay MacDonalds, the MacLeans having sought sanctuary in the chapel after a bloody battle with their adversaries on the shore of nearby Loch Gruinart. In the tiny cemetery, set in lawns of lush turf, carved grave slabs remain laid out around a 9 ft high Celtic cross, battered but still imposing, dating from around AD750.
