LARGS. Across to Great Cumbrae.

The island hopping continues.

A follow on from the earlier post of the expedition along the River Clyde and to the Islands. Or two of them at least, Bute and Great Cumbrae. The first stop was Rothesay, the capital of the island. Sorting through I’ve found a few more images of the day.

Right, a bit of an action packed day today in the company of Alistair K. It started with a trip up to Glasgow from north west England.
