    I have a Millport letter card from my great great great aunt dated August 1910 . In it is 8 images of Millport. In it is one that call it Alligator Rock not crocodile. that's what she calls it in the letter as well . So has history been rewritten?

    I think the shortest boat ride in Scotland is to the north side of the Isla of Bute you can get a boat from the North side of the Isle of Bute. I was on the Isle of Cambrae on Wednesday I went to the highest point there.

    That's awesome to hear! The views from the top are nothing short of spectacular! According to the Scotsman, the Seil - Luing route (Distance: 280 metres) is the shortest ferry crossing in Scotland. This ferry crosses the Cuan Sound to connect Seil with Luing, two of the Slate Islands which lie immediately off the coast of Argyll. Seil has been connected to the mainland via the Clachan Bridge since the 18th century, allowing visitors easy access from nearby Oban. The onward journey across to Luing, which has a population of around 195, is a short maritime excursion in comparison. (Scotsman)
