Beach at Mount Stuart, Bute

There is not much sand on our nearest bit of sea loch beach so finding a sandy beach is a joy. This is on the west side of the Clyde Estuary. not far from us as the crow flies but actually quite a long drive by road.

Looking north(ish)

If you enlarge the northward pic you might be able to make out, very faintly, Ben Lomond just above the headland on the left. To the right of that are what we think of as "our hills", the ones north of Glen Fruin that we can see from our house.







My favourite rock. Nearly brought the wee one home!

Red Campion. Boggybrae's is nowhere near flowering yet.

Last time we attempted to visit Mount Stuart, when Toadlet's Spanish exchange partner was visiting, it was a perishing, wind-chilled day in March, and the place was closed even though its website said it was open. As a result, when Toad contacted them about that, they gave us free tickets for a booked visit. Yesterday was it.
