"Omphalodes macedonica" Never having seen this plant before, I had no idea what its name is, and asked one of the gardeners. Its flowers are almost the same as those of Green Alkanet, but the leaves are totally different. It is an introduced and cultivated species not found in the wild. According to IPNI, a species "Omphalodes macedonica" does not exist. This is perhaps Omphalodes cappadocica.--Thiotrix (talk) 15:58, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Asknish Bay. The view of Asknish Bay from Loch Melfort Hotel. The nearest islet is Eilean Creagach, and the low-lying land beyond is the island of Shuna. Beyond Shuna is the grey outline of Scarba, and Jura is faintly visible in the distance at left. Amazingly, 1272932 was taken only a few minutes later, such was the changeability of the weather.

Former Arduaine House Although it was built as Arduaine House, this is now the main building of the Loch Melfort Hotel. The extension on the right is the dining room, and the other ground floor windows are the lounges. All have a magnificent sea view.

Hands down my favorite hotel during my trip. On the day of my check-in, I made dinner reservations and unfortunately I ran into car trouble so I was going to miss dinner hours by 20 minutes. Immediately when I got to check in, they offered to make me a plate even though the kitchen was closed. 10/10 ...
