Today was another beautiful sunny day, thank God.
We decided to head to Oban and then down towards Lochgilphead.
We stopped there for a visit to the Catholic Church, then had a bite to eat, wandered round the small town, then headed over to Tarbert, a pretty, colourful little fishing village. I took some photos, then we headed back towards Oban.
On the way we stopped at a number of historic places. There is quite a lot of evidence of the ancient Scots to be found in this area. There are carved stones, standing stones and burial cairns to be found in the area of Kilmartin Glen, and the impressive Iron age fort at Dunadd.
The Fort occupied a high vantage point as can be seen from my photos, and was an important place of occupation. For more information, follow the link at the end of this blog, or google Dunadd Fort.
There are some stone carvings at Dunadd, including two feet carved into a stone.
By then it was late afternoon, so we decided enough was enough and we headed back to Otter Creek at Taynuilt. There is a limit to how much history one can assimilate in one day.
Photos show Tarbert, carved stones, and Dunadd fort.
