From the
Farland Point on the Great Cumbrae we set off on the crossing of The Tan towards...
...Little Cumbrae island. In the distance, the clouds and mists rolled round the corries and ridges of Arran's granite mountains.
We slid down the east coast of Little Cumbrae and stopped off at
the castle for first luncheon.
Our first post prandial point proved to be
Gull Point. We often wonder why it got such a prosaic name as Gull Point in the Scots tongue? Perhaps the retreating Vikings had more romantically called it Pillage Point?
Our last point of contact with Little Cumbrae island was the
Cumbrae Elbow with its two lighthouses.
