Puffer boat - Vic 32

Even though there was a light frost, the day was much brighter.
Kilmartin was our first stop, visiting the old church, museum and graveyard. Leanne has developed a fasination for the ancient graveslabs, and old gravestones that are carved and tell a story.
Climbed (walked) to the top of the Dunadd Fort http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/propertyresults/propertydetail.htm?PropID=PL_174
Walked along the track that lead us to the Baluachraig Cup & Ring marks.

The we did a detour down to Tarbert for a look around. Had late lunch / early tea there, and saw one of the 3 remaining Puffer boats, Vic 32 heading out of harbour. We first saw the smoke, and thought someone's car or house was on fire, then the boat came around the corner of the harbour. http://www.secretscotland.org.uk/index.php/Secrets/ClydePuffer
Finally got to our B&B at Ellenabeich on Seil at 6.00pm. On getting to Seil, we found that neither of us had the address of the place we were staying at, as both thought the other had it. Luckily I had printed out the email with the booking and had made a note of the phone number on it!!
It was still light, and we took a quick walk up onto the hill behind the B&B. From here we could look out over towards the Isle of Easdale and beyond towards Scarba, and then on the other side we could see across Insh Isle and further over to Isle of Mull.
