MV Isle of Mull.
The monument on Kererra. This stone obelisk overlooking the north entrance to Oban Bay is a memorial to David Hutcheson who set up a regular steamer service to the Hebrides in 1835. This service was the forerunner of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries of today.
Passing Lismore Lighthouse, built by Robert Stevenson in 1833. It lies on the small island of Eilean Musdile just off the South Coast of Lismore Island.
Passing Duart Castle on Mull, the ancestral home of the Clan Maclean.
Observations and photos from the sea-shore, countryside and villages around Largo Bay in the East Neuk of Fife, and from my small garden in Lundin Links. Occasional forays to other parts.

About Me
- Largo observer
- Married. Semi-retired. I live in a village on the coast in the East Neuk of Fife. Interested in the flora and fauna of this lovely area, and recording my observations of wild-life at the shore, in the countryside, and in our garden. Also, a bit about the local area and some reviews of books, concerts, plays that I've enjoyed. Although, I hope to take photos of what I see, I am not an expert photographer, however, I hope that the photos will be a good record of my observations of the natural world in a small part of Scotland.
