Heute in Kintyre unterwegs, eine sehr schöne Ecke Schottlands, die ich noch nicht kannte. Links und rechts locken Fähren auf die Inseln, wo die Whisky-Pflanze wächst. Islay, Bute und so.

The fragmentary but intriguing ruins of Saddell Abbey, on the east coast of the Kintyre peninsula north of Campbeltown. It was founded in 1140 and is home to a truly remarkable collection of late medieval grave slabs and effigies.

The remarkably well-preserved Kildonan Dun, on the Kintyre coast north of Campbeltown. Roughly D-shaped, it would have served as a fortified farmstead when first built, the better part of two thousand years ago.

Project to restore 'vital' #seagrass around #Scotland
March 1, 2025
"A £2.4m seagrass planting programme has been launched to help restore the plant in seas around the north of Scotland.
"The project aims to plant 14 hectares (34.6 acres) of seagrass, often described as a 'wonder plant' by conservationists, over the next three years.
"Seagrasses are often likened to rainforests because they provide food and shelter for thousands of species, but they have been declining globally since the 1930s.
"In the last century 92% of the plants have been lost from Britain's coasts and areas once covered by seagrass are now 'lifeless seabeds', according to research by University College London.
"The new initiative is a partnership between the Scottish Marine Environmental Enhancement Fund (#SMEEF) and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN).
"Grants have been awarded to four organisations that cover areas from #Shetland to the #Kintyre peninsula.
"These are #MossyEarth's #WilderFirths project (based around the Black Isle), Kintyre Coastal Network's East Kintyre Biosphere, Wester Ross Fisheries Trust's seagrass planting project and Restoring Shetland's Marlie Meadows - a project by the University of the #Highlands and Islands.
"Seagrass is home to a vast number of species, and is a food source for many others.
"It can purify water and slow down waves, protecting coastal areas from flooding as a result.
"The plant also takes in #CO2, making it useful in tackling #ClimateChange.
"The partnership said Scottish seas are a special place for marine habitats like seagrass, with the country's coasts stretching 18,000km (11,185 miles) and containing 8,000 species or more."

The harbour at Carradale on the less-travelled eastern side of the Kintyre peninsula. No-one ends up in Carradale who hasn't actually set out to be there, and the village offers a gentle pace and a quiet charm that amply reflects that.

St Columba's footprints, found on a rocky outcrop overlooking the shore at the southern end of the Kintyre peninsula near Southend. One footprint is ancient: but it is said that the other and the (wrong) date were added in 1856. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/southend/footprintscaves/index.html

At the head of a deep loch sheltered by Davaar Island and surrounding hills lies Campbeltown, one of the largest towns in Argyll, complete with its busy harbour. Campbeltown is a considerable distance from other centres of population, but well worth the effort it takes to get to.
