Got out yesterday for a trip. First port was Stonefield Castle about 2nm north of Tarbert at the entrance to Loch Fyne. I hadn't been there for a few years. Apart from the fantastic location and views, the staff, service and food was 1st class. Highly recommended if you like seafood. The hotel has 4 moorings with junks making it quite easy to visit by boat.

We then ventured over to Portavadie; excellent facility.

Kames Bay Hotel (Kyles of Bute) didn't disappoint either.

Final port was Rothesay where we were pounced upon when completing berthing by the harbour person who wanted £18!!!. We agreed on £6 as we intended only staying an hour or so......
 
Hi Viscount
Can I recommend the Clyde group to stick stuff like this on too? It would be good to get a resource to assit us all in identifying good paces to visit around the Clyde.
My boat is being repaired at Largs (dont ask!) and back in the water next weekend I hope after 3 months.
Thanks for the post
 
There was a recent thread about the Loch Fyne area, Rothesay and Portavadie, including a couple of nice pics.

There seems to be quite a few boating in the area but not a lot of posts/stories/pics.

Could I second Allan's request for any boating info/cruises for the area. I suspect there may be quite an interest with your season just starting.
 
I visited Stonefield Castle Last year and was eaten alive by our little friends !!

You couldn't walk outside for five minutes before beating a hasty retreat (to the bar).

They were like the Colintraive midges (of Para Handy fame) who would bite through a corrugated tin roof to get at you and, if you looked closely, you could see the old ones showing the young one the 'grips'.
