Scotland - Isle of Mull - Kintra cottages on Loch bay

Cottages in the remote bay at Kintra, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The lights are on in the nearest home and a puddle nearby reflects their warmth amid the otherwise bleak winter evening. Kintra is a small settlement on the north coast of the Ross of Mull. The name comes from the Gaelic for 'end of the beach', 'Ceann Tràgha'. It was founded by the 5th Duke of Argyll to provide an income for himself and his tenants through fishing. Originally cottages with thatched roofs did not have gable ends or chimneys but this one has one gable and with a chimney attached.
