The small parish church to the north of the gardens offers a
perfect place for quiet contemplation. The stain glass windows are
a
must. Dolphins have been spotted from the ferry and are quite often seen
in the waters between Gigha and Muasdale. The latest addition to Gigha are three wind turbines called
"the dancing ladies", Faith Hope & Charity. |
