Near where I was staying (Lochgilphead) is the area where the beavers have been reintroduced. I had a nice walk around the loch where there was certainly evidence of their activity but they are like the otters and difficult to spot – apparently the best time is dusk.

Yet another lost settlement
After Knapdale I explored the Mull of Kintyre, stopping off at Tarbet, a strategic point and port on Mull of Kintyre.
I wanted to refuel but found that the economic climate has killed off the only petrol filling station for miles.
Not only that the church was also closed:
Quality window display
Better quality scarecrow
and a belated apology for not including maps.
This one shows Lochgilphead, the Crinan canal, Knapdale and Tarbet.
