Isle of Bute - Away day

Today was a planned visit to the Isle of Bute.

Although the weather was not ideal for photographs, this was to be the best day of the week so of we went over and crossed our fingers.

Started foggy but cleared a little by the time we berthed at Rothesay.

A drive around the island and tried to take in some places and sites of interest.

Darkness comes in soon at this time of year so opted to take the earlier ferry back to Gourock.

Night shots were considered, and if it had been a crisper evening we may have stayed a little longer.

Scotland Boat Show - 2014

Went along to the Scotland Boat Show this afternoon at the Kip Marina in Inverkip.

The event ran over three days with a variety of entertainments for the visitors.

We were treated to an acrobatic flying display, wet jets performing their stuff, a pipe band, some expensive automobiles, the Inverclyde Rock Choir, and much more besides.

An enjoyable afternoon and it also stayed dry.
