Luing - Boat in Black Mill Bay
This striking little red boat moored in Black Mill Bay on the west coast of the Isle of Luing caught my attention with its almost perfect reflection in the water.
The hill in the background is Cnoc Mòr which rises to 184' (56m).

Metamorphic rock
The islands of Seil, Luing and Easdale, and some of the smaller ones nearby, are known as the Slate Islands because they were formerly extensively quarried for slate. Slate is mudstone or siltstone which has been altered by heat and pressure. As the temperature and pressure increase, it first forms slate, then phyllite, then schist, and then gneiss, before melting altogether. The geological map describes the lithology of the islands as graphitic schist and slate, and these rocks are probably phyllite, because they have a definite sheen but no crystals obvious to the naked eye. The beach pebbles show almost translucent stripes.
