As Jim and I approached Garroch Head on Bute, we were looking for a suitable spot to have a second luncheon...
... and perhaps to weather out a thunderstorm, which threatened to spill over the Sound of Bute from Arran.
We found this
little cobble beach...
...in a break in the lava beds of Garroch Head.
The lava bed rock had been worn into amazing pinnacles and channels by a combination of wave action and the cobbles.
We enjoyed the view...
from a little platform...
...above the beach. We wondered how many of our fellow seafarers and ancestors had been grateful for the shelter offered by this little beach if caught out in a storm.
However HMS Dragon seemed unperturbed by the weather...
...and at last the sun broke through and shone down on Gen Sannox again. It was time to move on.
