Loch Ederline

This crannog wasn’t on my OS map.. I was heading towards Ford and the awesome Loch Awe beyond while heading home at the end of our stunning visits to Colonsay and Gigha when I caught a glimpse of it through the dense roadside foliage. ‘A crannog!!’ Screeched to halt in nearby passing place. It’s a real swine to get a picture of, I had to descend a steep bank to the lochside and fight my way along through undergrowth and sallows. Succeeded in the end.. A small affair above water, plenty below doubtless.

As for Loch Awe, we drove W along it at the start of our holiday and once was not enough. The B840 is an amazing, beautiful drive in May. I cannot recommend it highly enough. And there’s all those crannogs… next time, touch wood.
