During my holiday last week I went on a trip on a former London bus from Oban to the Island of Seil.

The building adjacent to the bridge from the mainland to the island is an inn called Tigh an Truish, house of the trousers. During the post 1745 years when wearing the kilt was banned the islanders would wear kilts while on the island and would keep trousers in a cloakroom at this inn for wearing when crossing over to the mainland.

There are some great views from the top deck of the bus as it crosses the island.

To stop for a coffee at the Highland Arts Centre at Ellanbeich.

Ellanbeich is characterised by its single storey white painted cottages dating from around 1820.

The village and harbour are in a beautiful setting.

Stone for building was once exported from the quarries here.
