We have visited Otterferry at the head of Loch Fyne, many times, but never ventured further in Upper Loch Fyne -which forms the longest sea-loch in Scotland. Over the last couple of years quite a few new moorings have been laid and there's a single pontoon at Strachur (no good in heavy weather). I have visited and driven through Inveraray dozens of times over the years but this would be the first time arriving from the sea. It turned out that Upper Loch Fyne is lovely, very reminiscent of Loch Sunart on the way to Salen Jetty. It was great to see familiar places of Minard, Furnace, and Strachur but from a different perspective. The weather was stunning for our gentle motor up the loch. There are four moorings opposite the old pier at Inveraray and one was free (turned out that all four were available after day trips had departed), there is also a sheltered anchorage beside them. We had to fouter about at the mooring as it seemed to have wrapped around itself but an extra length of rope sorted that out and it was a beautifully calm evening.
