I’m just back from another short trip to the Scottish islands. Three nights on Seil, which is a few miles south of Oban. I decided to escape for a few days before autumn arrives.
I visited Easdale and Luing too. The only way to reach them is by ferry from Seil.
I’ve been trying to work out what was my favourite experience, and found a lot of possibilities.
The marine safari, seeing a minke whale, porpoises and sea eagles?
See Anything?
The seaweed foraging tutorial on Easdale, eating several kinds raw on the beach and then cooked later?
Warm Welcome
A gentle morning exploring sleepy Luing?
Luing Cattle
Local oysters and mussels at the Oyster Bar in Ellenabeich?
Delicious!
Staying in the Tin Church?
Different
The 12 seater passenger ferry to Easdale?
Ferry (centre)
The 3 car ferry to Luing?
Full Load
I’m not finished yet…
