Hi
Took a trip to Kerrera Yesterday on the bus to Oban then the wee ferry across was a stunning location after i googled it the night before so decided to take the trip met up with a nice couple andy and his partner who did the same path as me was a over cast day but the sun came out for the last half of the walk took a trip off the track to the old castle and a old fishing boat on the island the castle will bring back memories for me as this is where my dental bridge came out so dentist next week
i managed to follow the track round then caught the 4 pm ferry back then sat in a bar had a few glass of wine then headed home after a very tiring day
Comments welcome on my images

Hi Peter
Great to see Kerera again, we did the circular round the island a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Photos are good, I especially like the B&W of the old boat.

Great set of photographs there Peter, that wee fishing boat does indeed look pretty lonely.
