I thought this gate was very attractive!
The view across the Clyde towards Inverkip
We came across this tub of apples on a public bench - such a friendly idea to offer them to strangers!
The post office/grocers is the only shop left in the village now although there used to be fourteen
I hope to be back there next year - the whole of the Cowal is delightful

That is a very peaceful and pretty village. I would love to live there :)
Me too! Thanks Kirigalpoththa!
Hi Jane
Thanks for the comments on my blog. Interested to see your latest post is on Innellan - I can see my great aunt's old house in one of your photos! I've been meaning to take my wife there for a while.
Thanks Robert - nice I managed to include your great aunt's house!
I used to live in Inellan. Nice but not that nice....I wouldn't go back. It's too built up. Would prefer somewhere like Isle of Jura.
Thanks 'Anonymous' - nice to hear from someone who lived there! I haven't been to Jura so far, the nearest to it I've visited was Crinan...
Hello Jane. I wondered if you'd mind my using your 3rd photo down in our church's Parish Magazine to illustrate an artivle about the hymn writer, George Matheson, who was the minister at Inellan around the turn of the 19/20th centuries. I'd give an attribution of course.
Many thanks

Hi Jane, this is where I was born and bred. I remember all the shops, and all the names of the locals who ran them. Sadly all gone now ( like myself )but it was a great place to grow up. The fish monger, Billy Watt, was the Sea Scout Master and we`d all go out fishing at night off the boats....or just off the Innellan pier ( olso sadly gone). Football at Sandy Beach in the summer nights and the big fireworks display in November ... there was always something happening. It was brilliant as you grew older too as you could sit in the pub with a pint and watch the old paddle steamers come and go and drop off tourist.....aye it was a busy wee place in it`s day.
