	Dundee Sub Aqua Club - Trip Report Garvellachs November 1999
		The journey out to the small group of islands called the Garvellachs gently passed until we had to pass through the Grey Dogs, a sound between the isles of Scarba and Lunga.
		The many whirlpools were in tremendous form, amazing was the levels of the water between east and west halves of the sound where it is not uncommon to see 1 metre differences.
		Duncan, the skipper is very knowledgeable around this area where he has worked for over ten years and to no surprise powers the boat through the dogs.

	The Scottish Sub Aqua Club, Dive Sites
		I got up one Saturday morning thinking that I was in for a days work round the house, I had just put up new guttering and had the underside of the wood to paint, as well as cut the grass and other bits and bobs.
		Down to 37m, 2mins before deco and we headed back up and along the wall, by know the current had picked up and it was hard going, so we swam away from the wall and headed for the surface, all in it was a good dive.
		The second dive was between the largest of the islands Garbh Eileach and A`Chùli, there was a slight current but not to bad, bottomed out about 18m and what a difference, Vis stunning and it was like diving in an aquarium.

	Scotland Garvellachs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lying about four miles west of Luing, the Garvellachs are one of my favourite sea kayaking destinations.
		The island which is to the north east is Dun Chonnuil, its precipitous flanks providing natural protection for the fort on its summit.
		A visit to the Garvellachs has to be a classic paddle by any definition.

		The two weeks prior to our trip to the Garvellachs were absoluty perfect weather wise, with the exception of the wind, which appears to be an ever present reminder that the weather can be fickle to those who are not prepared.
		The Garvellachs are within easy reach from Oban by a decent sized RIB, but the best way to get there is by hard boat and the MV Porpoise, which is owned and skippered by Dave Ainsley is one such boat.

	Boat trips from Oban - Sealife Adventures Cruises Scotland
		The Christian Irish of the 6th century viewed spirituality and religion as far more integral to life than we in Britain tend to do nowadays, building it into their politics, daily routine and laws.
		The southern island of the Garvellach chain was one of their first monasteries: Eileach an Naoimh ("aylach a- nooyv" - The Rocky place of the Saints), also known as Holy Isle.
		It was probably established by Saint Bridget and Saint Brendan "the navigator", an Irish explorer and Brother, known for his great voyages to Iceland, America and his battle with a whale.

	Garvellachs 2000
		Last year when we were in Oban with Pete and Helen we did one dive on the Garvellachs, a small group of very small islands south-west of Oban.
		There is a small slip on the east side of the islands so we drove there and unloaded the spare cylinders, picnic, deck chairs etc (yes it was sunny again) and did a really beautiful drifting kind of dive on the west side of the biggest 'lump of rock'.
		The best diving definitely has to be on the west side of the Garvellachs so next year I hope we concentrate more on that side and find some more notable dive sites to add to the collection of 'dives I would do again'.

	The Hag At The Gates Of Heaven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The first time may not be the best but it is frequently the most memorable; it was for me on my first visit to the Firth of Lorne and so it was again when I first visited the Garvellachs.
		There is a greater sense of open sea ahead now, only Colonsay to the south west and the dark brooding mass of Mull to the north.
		Three miles away, however, are the Garvellachs which mark the outer edges of this island group; beyond is the Firth of Lorne.

	Scottish Roots
		Perhaps the finest high cross in Scotland is to be found at Kildalton on Islay.
		Columba's followers and other saints were responsible for many of the early Christian carvings, early chapels and monasteries which can still be found throughout Argyll, including Eileach an Naoimh (in the Garvellachs) Keills chapel, Applecross or the collection of stones at the Museum of Islay Life, Port Charlotte.
		Most of the people would have lived off the land and sea, inhabiting small duns (roundhouses with thick stone walls, which are commonplace in Argyll).

	TSAC trip to the Garvellachs, May 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Food, water bottles, dive gear, the lot, was loaded into the three boats so that we only had one journey to make out to our destination, The Garvellachs.
		After the diving and a peaceful dinner (no compressor) it was time to fill the bottles, collect fire wood, do the washing up, drink a few beers and swap stories round the camp fire.
		This is where we had a bit of a heart stopping time as we lost one diver, split up from the cover boats.

	Josephine of Hoo 2003
		I sailed Josephine south round Luing and then north of Lunga and Eilean Dubh Beag and on to the Garvellachs, anchoring for a couple of hours at Eilaeach an Naoimch, before setting off to sail to Puilladobhrain for the night.
		During the evening heavy fl cloud crept up from the south, and rain set in, with poor visibility except for occasional illumination by lightning.
		The next logical stop was Eilaeach an Naoimch in the Garvellachs again.

		Year 2000 was a terrific year for diving with the arrival of a new boat, some new dive sites and a lot of old favourites, in fact I had very few poor dives in 2000, and with the removal of Selective Availability on the GPS I never missed one wreck.
		I only managed 72 dives in 2000 which saw me dive either the East Coast or The Moray Firth most weekends with longer trips to, The Farne Islands, The Sound of Mull, Coll, Scapa Flow, The Garvellachs and two trips to Tenerife.
		My most memorable dive in 2000 was a 91min dive with a max depth of 16m on the wreck of The Tabarka, one of the blockships at the entrance to Scapa Flow.

	Ship's Log Extract
		We all know Prince Brennan had to spend some time down in the Corry with his ropes of wool, hemp and maiden hair, but not many folk know of the members of the Clan Chúlàin - a race of small people who lived in the same area as the good Prince Brechan.
		The Prince told the giant what he wanted, for it was to be a surprise, and Brennan guffawed with a great bellow when he heard the Prince's whisper, moving Shuna slightly further south, such was the force of his laughter and he agreed at once.
		When Prince Brennan left, he took the Clan Chúlàin and the Giant Brechan with him, and stopped for a while at the middle island of the three that are the Garvellachs.
