Only two and a half hours drive from Glasgow and traveling through some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland can offer, including the drive along Lock Lomond, over the mighty Rest and be Thankful pass, along the banks of Lochs Long & Fyne you will arrive at Kintyre in the South West of Scotland, and while not one of the popular tourist destinations it really is quite beautiful and needless to say not overrun with "selfie snappers". The miles of white sandy beaches stretch both the West and East coast of the peninsular. These are just a few of the many picture I took in one of the best locations I have visited.

1- The Mull of Cara behind the rocks of Muasdale.
2-The Port of Tarbert at the Northern end of Kintyre.
3-Carskey Bay o the Mull of Kintyre, with the Island of Ailsa Craig in the background, upon which blue hone granite has long been quarried to make curling stones.
4-The Island of Gigha and Jura watched over by a Highland Coo, from the foot of Gruach nan Gabhar
5- A'Chleit beach, or as we called Charlies beach after the old fisherman who lived and fished from the beach untill his death some 5 years ago, we had the pleasye of renting his wee bothy for
few weeks--pure hevan.
6- A'Chleit Church, next to Charlies Cottage.

Glad you liked Grammy's safaris. And Photo Walks is also great - you can do it right in the back yard!

The interesting thing is that young kids (at least ours...) start "taking pictures" as soon as they get their first cell phone. And that age is getting younger and younger.

They are all quite aware of the concept of "Art" - from kindergarten onward, all of our kids and grands have always provided a constant stream of drawings, paintings, and sculptures for Mom/Dad and Grammy/Papa.


Putting the two together by encouraging them to make "art" images to be shared with others was Grammy's little stroke of genius, in my entirely unbiased opinion. The idea that the phones they had in their pockets were tools to make art seemed new, and now they're also interested in what Grammy uses to make such pretty pictures.


They're only young once!
