A Quarry No More, 2 Pips & 2 Notes.

21 Feb 2024 31 45 243
On the shoreward side of the village Ellenabeich, is what at first looks like an atoll, a large very roughly circular line of rock apparently enclosing an arm of the sea. This can look like a harbour from a distance. Actually, it is all that remains of the slate quarry that led to Ellenabeich's growth. This was started by the Campbells of Breadalbane in 1745, And by 1842 new steam powered pumps meant that quarrying could take place to a depth of 250ft (72 m) below sea level, in a vast pit separated from the sea by just a narrow wall of rock. A storm in 1881 breached the wall around Ellenabeich's quarry, and it was inundated by the sea. Fortunately, no one was in it at the time. As the slate here was nearing exhaustion in any case, this spelled the end of slate quarrying in Elleneabeich and the several hundred jobs it provided, (wikipedia) Notes 1 The Quarry .........................Pip 1, Quarry Wall Note 2 First Breech..........................Pip 2, The Quarry. Another image shot in 16.9 therefore a large view would be appreciated.

30 Jan 2024 41 64 239
This tiny souvenir shop (Only open during tourist season) adjacent to the Clachan Bridge is owned by the Tig and Truish Inn (Cish an Cruish) which is opposite. The sign says, The old pub was used by islanders after the Jacobite uprising to change from trousers back into the forbidden kilt when returning to the Island. The electrical wiring on the right of the building looks past its best ;-) HWW!

Standing Stone !

19 Oct 2023 60 94 394
A burst of sun through the morning cloud catches the Kintraw Standing Stone with its adjacent trees and adds a golden glow to the numerous Gorse bushes,,,,,,,, Large view if possible please Stopping at a conveniently positioned lay-by and a short walk down hill to grab a couple of shots between the traffic. The Pip has been previously posted, but it gives a larger view of the stone. Standing at the head of Loch Craignure the stone is part of a complex that includes three burial cairns, It is a slender monolith that stands 13 feet (3.9m) high and is 3'6" wide. the stone is thought to have been erected around 1800 BC. Finally some relaxing music while you view, Solitude, Joan Chamorro www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ppw5ckhGo

Seal View, (Pip)

Apologies but you will probably need a large view for clarity This is It is a short distance north of the tip of the Mull of Kintyre, which faces out towards Northern Ireland and the Atlantic with views of the islands of Gigha, Islay and Jura. Seals are visible in the pip, For convenience, I only carry my landscape lens while away from the car which can have drawbacks especially in situations such as this. HBM and a good week,
