A fishing boat waits for recovery by tractor and trailer during low tide at Port Logan, in the Rhins of Galloway! Scotland.

It is on the western side of the Rhins peninsula, about 12 miles (19 km) south of Stranraer and 7 miles (11 km) north of the Mull of Galloway.

HWW!

The East Coast end of the Caledonian Canal which is a 60-mile (96.5km) waterway in Scotland running from Inverness to Fort William through the Great Glen, featuring 22 miles of man-made canals and 38 miles of natural lochs (Ness, Oich, Lochy). Designed by Thomas Telford and opened in 1822, it features 29 locks—including the famous "Neptune's Staircase"—and 10 swing bridges,

Boats up to 45.72m (150ft) long, 10.67m (35ft) wide (beam), and with a 4.1m (13.5ft) draft can navigate the Caledonian Canal. The maximum mast height is 35m (115ft), but air draft is limited by bridges to around 27.4m (89.8ft).

HFF and a good weekend!

From way back!

A shot from the Scottish Borders, discovered in the archives. Originally called Coldingham Shore, the village adopted the name St Abbs in the 1890s, inspired by nearby St Abb's Head—a rocky promontory named after the 7th-century saint Æbbe (or Ebba), who founded a monastery there around 635 AD.Today, St Abbs remains a working fishing community but thrives on tourism. It's especially popular for:Coastal walks — The St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve (managed by the National Trust for Scotland) offers breathtaking cliff-top trails with seabird colonies (like puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes in season), wild scenery, and a lighthouse.

This was taken from the Slipway of the St Abbs Independent Lifeboat

A lifeboat service has been present in St Abbs since 1911, established after the tragic wreck of the Danish steamer Alfred Erlandsen in 1907, where all 17 crew members were lost due to delays in rescue efforts from nearby stations. Originally operated by the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), the station was closed by them on September 8, 2015, after 104 years, despite local campaigns to keep it open. The community responded strongly, and with significant support—including a major donation from local company Tunnock's (the famous Scottish biscuit makers)—the service was relaunched as an independent operation. The current inshore lifeboat is named Thomas Tunnock in honor of that support, and it's noted as one of the fastest in the UK, capable of speeds up to 40 knots.

This is the southern end of the Crinan Canal which is a historic waterway in Argyll and Bute, western Scotland. It is often called “Britain’s most beautiful shortcut” because it allows boats to avoid the long and exposed sail around the Mull of Kintyre and the treacherous waters of the Sound of Jura.

Length: 9 miles (14.5 km) Number of locks: 15 (including 2 sea locks at each end)
Opened: 1801 (full completion 1809) Grok.

Ardrishaig Is a classic west-coast Scottish village—peaceful, surrounded by hills and water,
