Well worth a visit if rounding the Mull of Kintyre., The anchorage is well sheltered.
Thanks John for adding photos, Mine are bigger that the 1000 X 800 size limits for this forum, will try posting links to our web album instead.

Re: Sandpiper and kesbro
The locks are ridiculously heavy to open with just muscle power. Much bigger locks than the one between Glasson basin and the dock.

Re: Sandpiper and kesbro
one of the best bits of our visit to Rathlin Island was the upside down lighthouse at the West end surrounded by the seabird sanctuary.
later in the day we had the pleasure of seeing it again from Seaward as we made our way across the North channel to Scotland.

Drying out
Moored below the locks at Cairnbaan amongst the big boats - they've all been big boats on this trip apart from us.
All the tables are booked in the hotel. There must still be plenty of money going around in some parts.

Lavish Toilets
]They don't make them like this anymore!
.
But they were certainly needed when you look at the photo below from the early steamboat age. the toilet block can be seen on the left of the picture.
. .
They are still available to the public and serve the Rothsay marina berths for showers etc at night.
. .
Marina pontoons now fill the small basin at the right of the picture in the foreground.
