No tourists, so the cows enjoy the view and an early morning dip in Tayvallich Bay, Argyll.
Commentary.
Ocean, land, harbour – an unusual configuration.
The geology of south-west Argyll provides a series of land-protected harbours and ideal sailing waters.
Therefore, this ancient but mellow coastline of Dalriada is a mecca for yachting marinas.
In this scene, looking North-West, Tayvallich is one of very few east-facing villages on the majestic western seaboard.
A strip of land shelters the multifarious blue, yellow, white and red craft from the Atlantic elements.
Uncommercialised, unspoilt Tayvallich is charming, under-stated and wonderfully modest, in my opinion.
Loch Melfort, Crinan, Tayvallich, Ardfern and Craobh Haven are hidden jewels in an immensely fractured, twisting and convoluted coastline.
With island vistas and visits to Islay, Jura, Scarba, Luing, Seil, Kerrera and Lismore these cosy, calm and peaceful harbours
act as perfect sanctuaries to the incredible sea-kingdom of Dalriada.
It is not unusual on the West Coast and Hebrides for cows to outnumber tourists on the shoreline.
Wise cows.
Lucky cows.
And lucky me!
