Benderloch

Ardmucknish Bay

The town of Benderloch is a hidden gem on the Scottish Argyll & Bute coast. Located across Loch Etive and just east of Oban, this small town sits below Beinn Lora and on the idyllic Ardmucknish Bay. My family has visited a small resort - Tralee Bay – so many times over the past 15 years that it has become and home from home. The bay offers views out towards the Isle of Mull, in addition to easy access to Oban, Fort William and Glencoe.

Sunset over Ardmurcknish Bay
This was the only spot in the whole of Ardmucknish Bay that was getting some decent wave action, but did involve a climb down a steep bluff and tolerating the lapping of water over my shoes. Benderloch, Scotland, 2015.
Loch Creran Textures
It was a gloomy day on the Scottish west coast, which made photography a little less easy. I added this texture to add some depth to this image of Loch Creran, a sea loch in Argyll & Bute, 2013.
Loch Creran
This is a sea loch, Loch Creran, one which opens up to the open ocean. It was a rainy day when we visited this loch, but this interesting rocky part of the shoreline made for some interesting lead lines. Argyll & Bute, 2013.
Scottish Wind Surfing
Wind surfing on the beach in Ardmucknish Bay, otherwise known as Tralee Bay two some of the locals. One of my favourite places in Scotland; I miss this in the odd years that we don't go here. 2015.
