Rothesay Bay at Sunset with clouds that are boiling away over the mountains. The light reflects wonderfully on the water almost mimicking a mirror image.
Rothesay has a seal that lives in the bay, and it is known within this community. The Scalspie Bay on the opposite side of the island has a population of around 200 seals.
Rothesay Bay has a commanding view back to twords the mountains on the mainland, and is whatever the weather is doing, it is awesome. The Victorians were did very well to exploit this.

A short walk, across the road from the Bayview Hotel in the bay of Rothesay. This stunning view looking out to the main land Argyll and Cowal peninsular with Loch Striven ahead. The low lying strata kissing the mountains on the mainland. This was a welcome view every moment our stay on this small island.
The Firth of Clyde is the estuary which this island sits, and the seas were generally calm. A passing ferry form Wemyss Bay to Rothesay was enough to create a little wake and excitement on the water. Gannets are feature here, the birds would dive bomb the waters and are amazing to watch, distracting me from my photography.
