Gylen Castle is a ruined castle, or tower house, on a promontory overlooking the Firth of Lorne. Built in 1582 by the Clan MacDougall. Gylen was only occupied for a relatively short time. The castle was besieged then burned by the Covenanters under General Leslie in 1647 during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.

The Outer Hebrides of James MacLetchie
People have been living in the southern islands of the Outer Hebrides for about 8,000 years. They have created a sustainable farming landscape able to support people and nature. Yet their lives are changing. Many people on these islands were fishermen but over-fishing has forced them to find new ways to make a living.

Old Photographs Easdale One Of The Slate Islands Firth of Lorn Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Easdale, Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Èisdeal, one of the Slate Islands, in the Firth of Lorn. Once a centre of the British slate industry, Easdale had a community of more than 500 working as many as seven quarries, some of which extended to 300 feet below sea level. Easdale slate helped to build major cities of the British Empire and can still be seen on rooftops as far afield as Melbourne in Australia, Nova Scotia and Dunedin in New Zealand and Dublin, Ireland. The great storm of 1850 flooded most of the quarries. Lacking any means of pumping the water away, the slate industry on the island more or less came to an abrupt end. By the early 1960s, the population had dwindled to only four people and the island appeared doomed. Descendants of the original quarrymen, along with others from around the world, have moved to Easdale to create a model of island regeneration. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day

Seil & Easdale islands - Scotland
The Isle of Seil lies some 12 miles south of Oban.
Seil is separated from the mainland only by the thinnest of sea channels which is spanned by the elegant 18th century humpback Clachan Bridge, popularly known as the 'Bridge over the Atlantic'.
The island's main village, Ellenabeich, comprises neat white terraces of workers cottages crouching below black cliffs on the westernmost tip of the island. Confusingly, the village is often referred to by the same name as the nearby island of Easdale, since they formed an interdependent community based exclusively around the slate quarrying industry. Ellenabeich has featured in a number of TV and films including Para Handy and Ring of Bright Water. The village's main attractions are the gardens of An Cala with its glorious azaleas and Japanese flowering cherries in early summer and the Scottish Slate Islands' Heritage Centre which is housed in one of the little white cottages.

Gull's Eye Guide to Dunstaffnage Marina sponsored by Haven Knox-Johnston
The boat insurance people who share your passion…
This Gull's Eye Guide comes from Dunstaffnage Marina located in Scotland's West Coast, off the shore's of Ardmucknish Bay. The marina itself sits on the entrance of Loch Etive, an undeniably beautiful area with the added benefit of protection against adverse weather conditions due to Eilean Mor Island. A short sail deeper into Loch Etive, there are great mooring opportunities, including Salmore Bay, which is a good fishing spot for those who like to catch their own dinner.
Due to its location and depth at the entrance, Dunstaffnage is an easy sailing spot with undemanding navigation, however it is always recommended to have the appropriate charts and maps with you. Navigational lights are located on Dunstaffnage castle and island foreshores for those travelling after dark. Unfortunately due to its remote location, the marina isn't the best stop if you're in need of stocking up as there's a 10-minute drive along the coast to Oban -- the local town. The Wide Mouthed Frog which is an on-site restaurant, bistro and bar is great for a mid day bite or an after cruise drink. The restaurant also has rooms available for overnight stays.
For those looking to enjoy a quiet scenic break, this marina is a great choice for you. Visitors often enjoying walking over to Dunstaffnage Castle, one of the oldest stone castles in Scotland. Poppies, a quaint garden centre with a café and attractive grounds is easily accessible via dinghy from across the bay. However, if you're looking to stretch your sea legs, it is recommended to travel across the Sea of Hebrides to Barra or the Sound of Harris and then onto St Kilda. The Priest Isles of Mingulay, Barra Head or Vatersay are also good stops along the way. Whichever direction you wish to take, you will have the opportunity to view exceptional wildlife, cetaceans and wild flowers during this enjoyable cruise.
