Crinan THEN June 2003


We tied up to this stone jetty in arriving at Crinan. We were meet by the Sempes' who would be putting us up at their homes. We would later move the Colmcille to the loch basin where it would be safely moored.

We stayed a couple of days at Crinan. Unfortunately we were two days ahead of schedule and would not be able to meet and be entertained by Chief Robin Malcolm at Duntrune. He had other guests the days we were there. Skipper Robin wanted to push on due to threat of more storms. I was devastated.
We were able to visit Kilmartin and Lochgilphead. I learned about the Kingdom of Dalriada and its link to Ireland.


We departed Crinan on an overcast day. Crinan Loch was busy with ship traffic. We were able to see Duntrune in the distance. I thought this is close as I will get to see it.
