It must be so disappointing for people visiting the area, such as 'LandroverRoger' from the Kintyre Forum, to wake up to another day of non-stop rain.
Early birds or golfers might have spotted a nautical visitor to Carradale this morning, as the Northern Lighthouse Board's vessel NLV Pole Star paid us a visit to service the Cruban Rock Buoy.
The Cruban Buoy marks the position of a rocky pinnacle and has for many years been the symbol for Carradale Golf Club, the name of a bar in the village, and gaelic for crab.
