The book was presented to all SF & R personnel as a commemoration of the great service provided by one of the largest fire brigades in Europe from its inception, through its evolution and on to its amalgamation into the Scottish Fire Service on April 1st 2013. The firefighters in the Carradale Crew are all volunteers and I was happy to count myself as a recipient of the above mentioned book being the firefighter on the far right. Sadly, this picture was not the one used in the book, a picture from August 2011 was used instead which showed the Carradale volunteers with the then Firemaster of SF & R Brian Sweeney and other dignitaries during a visit. text/html 2013-06-11T23:09:40GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.583265 -5.499538 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3506187 A lovely summers day at Bridgend. text/html 2013-05-29T14:52:51GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.631310 -5.317402 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3482969 Looking from the eastern slopes of Mullach Buidhe. text/html 2013-05-27T09:41:23GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.461250 -5.712956 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3478004 The Mull of Kintyre Half Marathon reaches its half way point on the sands of Westport beach. text/html 2013-05-21T22:01:18GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.427022 -5.597633 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3470401 The end of the old Dalintober pier can be seen to the right and Island Davaar is the mound at middle left. text/html 2013-04-29T19:37:13GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.423718 -5.606028 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3435723 Looking on from Kirk Street text/html 2013-04-28T21:34:09GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.390902 -5.525790 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3434271 Due to inaccessibility, this is a seldom visited area of the Kintyre coastline. text/html 2013-04-28T21:30:34GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.393166 -5.528361 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3434258 I spotted this wreckage last June from a boat and decided to have a closer look at some point. This is a winch and I could see from a brass label that it was manufactured in Japan, sadly there were no dates to be seen. Also nearby was an engine, several oil tanks and pieces of the hull/deck. text/html 2013-04-21T16:41:10GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.663110 -5.668599 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3421679 Stranded helplessly on the beach just north of Tayinloan. text/html 2013-04-20T20:48:15GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 55.737402 -5.598119 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3420297 A beautiful calm sunny day, with Jura on the right, Islay to the middle and Gigha to the left. text/html 2013-04-19T18:13:07GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/1173 Steve Partridge 56.242469 -4.418666 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3418231 Looking over Loch Katrine with Ben Venue to the left. Ben A'an provides a panorama in exchange for such a relatively short climb.

The walk changes character here from open moorland to lochs and forests.
