Campbeltown Old Pals group visited Gigha for the first time this year on Tuesday September 19.
The Wee Isle Café welcomed the group with a delicious lunch followed by a tour with Jane Miller, Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust business development manager.
The group visited the new Dark Skies Theatre at the north end of the island and found out about the new walking paths as they travelled to the south of the island to look over to the Isles of Cara and Gigalum.
They then enjoyed a Wee Isle Café ice-cream before a visit to Kilchattan Chapel and the Ogham Stone which are located close to the Achamore Gardens.
Alex McKinven from the Old Pals group said: “We thought we had left it too late in the season to visit the lovely little inner Hebridean Island of Gigha.
“However, nothing could be further from the truth, as we experienced all the usual hospitality and kindness this gem of an island is famous for.
“A lovely lunch was had at the the Wee Isle Café, followed by a wee treat of local ice-cream – for me it was the ginger-flavoured variety. Absolute magic!
“On behalf of our Old Pals group, can I thank everyone who made our trip so enjoyable.
“Jane and the Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust, Don Dennis and his team from the Wee Isle Café, Iain Johnston for organising the trip and driving the minibus, plus members of the local community we met along the way.
“Our passage across the water was also a trouble-free experience, thanks to the young staff of Caledonian MacBrayne ferries.
“All in all, a real successful day out.”
