In case people are interested, here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s71r1jhigy58gtb/AAB8U58v6ro9W_G4_xpmaLyna?dl=0 are a set of photos from our 2 week tour of the southern isles having left the car at Ardrossan, Ferry to Campbeltown, Kintyre Peninsula, Islay, Jura, Colonsay, Oban, Kilmartin/Crinan, Arran and then back to Ardrossan.   Dropbox appears to have put the photos in reverse order - the sequence starts with the car park in Ardrossan.  GPX files here -  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xxk5rr1rue348hk/AAAoeszOXNY3m9e0i1mmr7ssa?dl=0  Excellent, and not many other cyclists doing the same.  Three Thorns and a Linskey (sorry, not me).  Michael

John Saxby:
Super photos, Michael--thanks.  Loved the skies!  Not too much evidence of horizontal rain, either--finely judged choice of time and place :)  (Confess I wondered if you had borrowed Rual's camera to ensure Tourism-Board-approved skyscapes.)

MichaelJ:
Hi John

We were lucky with the weather.  Only one session of riding in rain, when we got off the ferry on Islay for the short ride to Kintra.  And the wind was very kind to us, blowing hard from the northeast on the two days Oban to Crinan, Crinan to Arran.  Skies - that's the Scottish islands for you.

Excellent pictures
Many thanks
My old stamping ground. Many a mile I've put in over those roads and islands.
Eigg was my favourite.
Pleased you enjoyed your trip.
Matt

PH:
Some great photos and prime camping spots.
It's too many years since I was last on a Scottish ferry, I think I'll make next year the one I rectify that, thanks for the inspiration!
