Well, on our second day in the area, after a late night at the very welcoming and intimate, Argyll Arms Hotel the evening before, I took the dogs for a morning walk around the Ardrishaig Basin on the Crinan Canal before having a relaxed breakfast with everyone when we got back.

We decided to take a trip down the Kintyre peninsular to Machrahanish to check out the superb beach there. I have to admit it was not the warmest of days to visit, nor the calmest. 
The waves crashing on shore enroute down the coast road.

We stopped in Cambelltown, to get something to eat before heading across the peninsular to the beach.
There was a strong southerly wind whipping up the fines sand and blowing it along the beach at our feet.
We walked with the wind at our backs firstly and then turned to come back to the vehicle and had the wind in our faces as the sun was setting over the Mull of Kintyre! 
However the dogs really loved it and were totally exhausted for the rest of the evening! One of the interesting 'finds' on the tide line was an old shoe, which must have been in the water for quite some time as it was encrusted with Goose Barnicles. As they were still alive we threw the shoe back out into the water as far as we could.

Heading homewards at 3.30pm!!
