The River Finart in spate today during the early evening storm.
Disposable domicile
Rather than walk a few metres to bin their rubbish in the car park recycling area, these “wild” Ardentinny beach campers simply deposited the remnants of their weekend (including their “bag for life” – see inset) inside their new tent and abandoned the lot! We’ve binned the junk and if anyone would like to get their hands on a brand new tent, please contact us!
Sailing on Loch Long at just €53k a week
Classic yacht Eleonora E, a replica of the world’s fastest schooner (in 1910) Westward, visited Loch Long this week. The yacht, which spends much of her time cruising Mediterranean and Caribbean waters, can accommodate 8 guests (with a similar number of crew) in luxurious surroundings. She is available for charter at just 53,000 – 59,000 euros per week. For bookings, please make an orderly queue!
