HBM ~ The seat of Keil

HBM ~  The seat of Keil
Another bench on the coast, taken on our recent trip to Scotland. We are here in the tiny hamlet of Keil on the very tip of the Mull of Kintyre. In the distance looking south east, we can see ‘Sanda Island’ with its smaller partner ‘Sheep Island’. In the far distance is the feint but very distinctive pudding shape of ‘Ailsa Craig’, an Island I once visited on my very first trip to Scotland about 50 years ago.


Enjoy full size and enjoy your week in safety.

What a spectacular view...........but why is the bench facing in the opposite direction?

A really attractive foreground with lush green grass and gorse bushes. The light is lovely and the islands look very attractive on the horizon.

Well captured Herb!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks for this Keith. There was an old cemetery facing in the other direction . Anyway, glad you liked this and the Islands.

Cheers. Herb

It's surprising that the bench doesn't look onto the sea! But perhaps on the other side there is also something interesting? HBM Herb.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Christa1004 club
Thanks Christa. I really cannot remember what it looked upon really. An old cemetery, school and hotel across fields of sheep were all near here. Glad you liked it.

HBM. I didn’t know anyone landed on Ailsa Craig was that a tourist trip or from a private vessel?
2 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Thanks Colin. A long time ago. There were a few of us on that sailing (about 10) - maybe a private boat trip but it was no big secret. We just had a walk around on the old stony beach for a while, seeing the granite left-overs for use of the curling stones before going back after an hour at the most. I was with my brother. I know it is pretty well secluded nowadays.

A lovely image, but I also found myself wondering the same thing as others: the bench seems to be facing the wrong way! Belated HBM, Herb.

The view on the other side was not too bad at all. I really cannot remember what it looked upon really. An old cemetery, school and hotel across fields of sheep were all near here.
