Went with a group of friends / muscians to our usual hideaway at Kildonan on the SE coast of Arran. The weather was kinder than usual and the midges left us alone until the night of the Aly Bain/ Phil Cunningham concert three quarters of the way through the fortnight.

Some great walking and a sea trip to the Kyles of Bute on a RIB and Loch Long on The Waverley.

A whole day of "hunting" standing stones and cist burial mounds surrounded by dragonflies and butterflies - Magic!
