Tag. 6 Mittwoch, 01.05.2019 The Lochside & Harbour Inn Hotels, Bowmore (Isle of Islay) auf die Halbinsel Rhinns of Islay (88 km) Heute geht es gegen 09:00 Uhr über Bridgend, Lyrabus und Gruinart (Battle of Traigh Ghruineart 1598, die letzte Schlacht auf Islay) nach Ballinaby und weiter nach Machir Bay, der wohl schönste Badestrand Islay´s. Wer seine Badesachen eingepackt hat, darf gern in die Fluten springen. Wem es nun allerdings etwas kalt geworden ist, der kann sich gegen 10:30 Uhr bei unserer Führung durch die Kilchoman Distillery und anschließendem Tasting aufwärmen. http://kilchomandistillery.com/ Im Anschluss geht es weiter über Kilchiaran entlang der Küste Richtung Portnahaven ins An Tigh Seinnse. Hier werden wir gegen 13:30 Uhr Mittag essen. Portnahaven (gälisch: Port na h-Abhainne) ist eine kleine Ortschaft auf der schottischen Hebrideninsel Islay. Sie befindet sich im Süden der Halbinsel Rhinns of Islay nahe dem Rhinns Point, welcher den südlichsten Punkt der Halbinsel markiert. Die Ortschaft schmiegt sich um eine kleine Bucht. Ihr Hafen liegt geschützt durch die wenige hundert Meter entfernt liegenden Inseln Orsay und Eilean Mhic Coinnich. In Portnahaven endet die A847, die in Bridgend von der A846 abzweigt, und die Ortschaft an das Straßennetz anbindet. Tricia hat hier als Teenager zusammen mit ihrer Tante regelmäßig ihren Urlaub verbracht. Nach unserem hoffentlich köstlichen Mittagessen und etwas Zeit in Portnahaven reisen wir über Ellister und Nerabus weiter zur Bruichladdich Distillery und zurück zum Lochside & Harbour Inn Hotel, wo wir den Tag gemeinsam ausklingen lassen. www.the-clansmen.de - Unter der Rubrik „Reisen“ können Sie unsere vergangenen Clansmen-Touren nachlesen! www.the-clansmen.de - Unter der Rubrik „Reisen“ können Sie unsere vergangenen Clansmen-Touren nachlesen! .

Extending from near Ardnave in the north to Portnahaven in the south, the western shores are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. It is a large site with geological, biological and ornithological interest over a mosaic of open habitats with coastline, boggy moorland, woodland scrub and low-intensity agricultural land. The Rinns of Islay SSSI contains internationally-important exposures of rocks whose affinity is uncertain. The succession of Colonsay Group rocks is almost entirely visible in the coastal rocks, along the north-west edge of the SSSI. The rocks originated as sea-floor muds and sands, which were then much folded. In the south, a second group of rocks, the Rinns Complex, is seen below a complicated contact zone. These igneous rocks (cooled from molten rock) have been greatly altered by heat and pressure.

Kintour Landscape Survey Report
DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

Islay February 2019
Islay February 2019 February 20th : Sandwich Bay to Islay The group left the Observatory at 5 a.m. and had a straightforward run up to Gatwick with the ever-efficient Airport Connections. Our Easyjet flight to Glasgow was delayed by an hour but the flight itself was quicker than scheduled – did the pilot really put his foot on the accelerator? At Glasgow Airport we met with Peter and the mini-bus was then duly collected from a large company based about 20 minutes away in Clydeside. Peter and Ken came back to the airport to collect the group and then we were on our way in dreich conditions out of the city and north along the shores of Loch Lomond, then off through the sea lochs and mountains of Argyll. We stopped for lunch at the Loch Fyne Centre and again for a short stretch of the legs at historic Inveraray and, near the journey’s end, at Tarbert. Here we saw the first ‘good’ birds of the trip in the form of 5 Black Guillemots out in the harbour. From there it was a short journey to the ferry terminal at Kennacraig and, with night fast approaching, there were some rather nice sunset effects through the now-lifting clouds. A Red-throated Diver was swimming around the jetty as the M. V. Isle of Arran appeared from the south to take us across to Islay. A smooth crossing, landing at Port Askaig, and then across the dark island to the hotel at Port Charlotte for a decent night’s sleep in this very comfortable hotel set overlooking the outer reaches of Loch Indaal.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.
