The Kintyre Forum

Anyone fancy a house swap to Staffordshire.Semi-detached,semi-rural,huge garden.I would give this up to see superb views such as posted on this Forum.Thank you to all Posters.

If I thought it`d work Roger, I`d have offered ours up for a swap years ago!

Surely someone has a sunset from either last night or tonight on the west coast??? I missed it both times!!

I'm still not able to get anything on SCD, so haven't been snapping much these last couple of months.

Are the ones I sent you to put on for me to large etc for the Forum?
Or did you forget you had them
Spoke to Crowth a few weeks back and he suggested what might be wrong with the files, but haven't tried to do anything since that time.

Hopefully be able to get some stuff in the near future.

Sorry no sunsets for last night or night before, cloud has come over everytime at the last minute and blotted it out.

Great photos SCD, amazing colours, I had sold my camera when the snow was here last year .
Got a new one though so i shouldn't miss out this year is we get the same weather

It went from Gold (20.04hrs)



to Blue (20.17hrs)



to Crimson (20.40hrs)

What a difference time makes in these three shots, thanks for sharing

I managed to drag my carcass around to Ballochroy the other night to seek out the ruins of the farmstead of Kilmichael and to see the standing stones. The visit to Kilmichael was worth it for the wildlife alone - at one point I was being barked at by a deer from the nearby treeline.





































And then I passed by here on my way home

Fantastic pics once again Crowth, I love the ones of the standing stones.

A visitor to Kintyre recently asked about ruins he has heard of near Ballochroy. After exchanging a few PMs we decided they had to be the ones directly east of the Ballochroy standing stones. Marked on the OS map at NR734524, the ruins are in two parts, seperated by 150 metres and a small burn, one section due north of the other. I took advantage of the good weather last Saturday and had a walk up.

Dwellings to the north




Structures to the south

Lovely pics Crowth, can't wait to visit those ruins.

After some digging I believe that those are the remains of the Sheilings Talatoll township. (Could be wrong of course). Can't find anything about the people or its demise at present, but sure looks like a clearances remnant to me.

Your photos never fail to please, Crowth, thank you for sharing them with us.

Spotted this magnificent specimen near Tarbert yesterday.

Brilliant picture!
