Today (Friday, 2014-06-13) I met up with my erstwhile companions who are walking with me for the next seven days. They picked me up in the taxi they had booked on their route from Holy Island. I was waiting for them at Brodick ferry terminal and off we went to Lamlash ferry terminal where we caught the ferry to Cloanaig. Once there it was a ride to Tarbet in order to wait for the bus to Clachan. While waiting we had a wander up to the castle and around the harbour. Again as in my experience of Scotland to date, Tarbet is an idyllic spot, full of beautiful views. Tarbet can be seen here.Then it was onto Clachan and the first accommodation I had booked. An evening perambulation, a meal and so to bed.
