Five nights in May on Gometra in the Inner Hebrides. I stayed in Teacher's Bothy, bookable here via Airbnb. Photos were taken with my Fujifilm X-T2 with XF 18-55mm and iPhone.
Drawings from the trip are here and the first paintings I made on my return are here.
Breakfast at Oban Tesco. Tattie scone was good
