overlooking Strone from Hunters Quay?

EDIT: Bugger beaten to it!!

Yes, Strone from the middle of the mouth of the Holy Loch. I've often stayed in the Hunters Quay Hotel whilst working in Dunoon, and looked out over the mouth of the Holy Loch at the fairy tale castle on the hill side, but today I got to sail from near Rothesay to Sandbank, and took the picture on the way.

Don't worry, I'm off there in a few weeks.

I was glad to see a sunny picture of it, something I never knew happened there

My first cycling trip there involved me getting lost and heading up to that castle and looking over to Hunters Quay to get a view of my heading.

I'm not a fan of the Dunoon area. Stayed in a shitty b&b, got fleeced in a pub then headed north the next day towards Skye.

Not the South Tyne, is it? Near Garrigill (sp)?

Deano · « **Reply #2031 on:** 18 August, 2009, 03:34:45 pm »

That's the right general area, but it's not the Tyne.

Up by Wearheads, Ireshopeburn way then, by the old lead mines.

Still too far north. It's not a major river (and not that easy, really).

Nope. Getting colder - wrong county. I'll reveal all before too long.
