MULL CAR FERRY DOCKED IN OBAN, SCOTLAND

Isle of Mull Car Ferry Docked in Oban, Scotland, 12 x 10 inch ink drawing on cream paper by George C. Clark    AVAILABLE

Here is another page from my Scotland sketchbook.  This shows one of the big Cal-Mac car ferries that connect the Isle of Mull in the Hebrides with the Scottish mainland.  Oban is a good-sized town for the thinly-populated Highlands.  It has a busy port and bills itself both as "the gateway to the Hebrides" and "the seafood capital of Scotland" and it is correct on both counts.  The tide was out when I did this drawing and a lone heron was patrolling the exposed seafloor for edible creatures stranded in the tidal pools.
