Casting shadow // Weymss Bay

[benvironment]

So here it is, a collection of piccies from my walk with Bute Ramblers on Thursday. The weather was foul on the way to Weymss Bay and over to Rothesay, and although it got windier as the day progressed, the frontal rain cleared to sunshine and showers......which meant stunning west coast views coming in and out of torrential hail in that very west coast way ;-)

This particular walk wasn't part of the main programme of winter walks, rather it was a recce that some of the group's members were doing for the annual Ramblers Scotland walking festival, The Gathering......which is being hosted by Bute Ramblers this year :) We walked from the Glenburn Hotel, along the seafront from Rothesay to Port Bannatyne, before heading west along the West Island Way and doubling back along a nice ridge line to Ettrick Bay :)

I'd not done much walking on Bute before, other than the southern tip of the island, so to see a bit more of the place was great. The west side feels so different to the more sheltered east.....made all the more special by the looming presence of Arran on the near horizon.

Such a nice walk in great company. Bute Ramblers walk every Saturday, sometimes on a Thursday as well, and all newcomers are welcome: https://www.buteramblers.org.uk/
