Gigha

This was our next destination. A small island (6 miles by 1) with 150 inhabitants owned by a Community trust after it had been bought by the community from its previous owner in 2002. It has classic Hebridean silver beaches and turquoise seas (evident during our continuing spell of good weather) and looks across to Islay and the Paps of Jura on its western side.
This was one of the "twin beaches" at its northern end. These beaches form a narrow isthmus to a peninsular which affords wonderful views across to the other islands (see extra)..
