CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

This shot of the Corran Lighthouse at Ardgour was taken on the Fuji X100 while waiting for the ferry across the mouth of Loch Linnhe.  The lighthouse is no longer in use but is now self catering accommodation.   FROM THE WEBSITE:   Corran Lighthouse Lodge is situated on the shoreline of Loch Linnhe, a beautiful tidal sea loch on the West Coast of Scotland near Fort William.  Accommodating up to 10 guests in five en-suite bedrooms the Lodge is at the gateway to the magical Ardnamurchan peninusla.  From the Lodge there are fabulous views down Loch Linnhe across to the magnificent Glencoe mountain range and Ben Nevis.   CLICK HERE for the website. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY CLICKING THE NEW GOOGLE ADVERTS It doesn't cost you anything to click on an advert but we get a small fee for every click thru from Google and this helps support t...

The Lochaline ferry arriving at the Fishnish terminal The first crossing on our way home is the 20-minute journey from Fishnish on the Isle of Mull over to Lochaline on the mainland.
