The misty "Holy Loch" Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
The Holy Loch is a sea loch, a part of the Cowal peninsula coast of the Firth of Clyde, in west Scotland. The name “Holy Loch” is believed to date from the 6th century, when Saint Munn landed there after leaving Ireland. Kilmun Parish Church and Argyll Mausoleum are said to stand where Saint Munn’s church was once located. During World War II, the loch was used as a British Royal Navy submarine base. From 1961–1992, it was used as a United States Navy Polaris and Poseidon nuclear submarine base. On the lefthand side of this photo is the Western Ferries Hunter’s Quay terminal, and over on the right is the village of Kilmun, both guarding the entrance to the misty loch with the beautiful Argyll mountains in the background.
