Some photos taken at Muasdale on the 27th July 2008.
Wonderful wee place is Muasdale and certainly took me back to my youth when we went crab hunting.
The village of Muasdale is situated on the west coast of Kintyre, 15 miles north of Campbeltown and 23 miles south of Tarbert. Muasdale is an ideal location for exploring Kintyre and the Islands with the ferry to the beautiful island of Gigha only 2 miles away, the ferry to Islay, Jura and Colonsay a further 13 miles north at Kennacraig and on the east , at Claonaig is the ferry to Arran. Muasdale enjoys wonderful uninterrupted views across to Gigha, Islay and Jury and the sunsets are breathtaking.
The village takes its name from the Norse mungasdale, the valley of the monks. In 1263 King Haakon of Norway was anchored with his long ship off the coast of Gigha when his priest died. The body was put ashore at Muasdale for the Saddell Abbey monks to carry his body over the hills for burial.
