Day 4: 15th July 2006

An early start took us to Crinan and views of Gallanach bay from across the sound. At the start of the Crinan canal a glorious old steam “puffer” was moored in rusting state. Then a final trip to the nearby loch where the police drag for drugs and discover Rory’s body.

We set off for Glasgow airport with plenty of video footage, assorted photos, sound track and location data for all the main sites described in the novel, plus a fair idea of how to port this onto mobile surfaces. The trip back was a near thing with a dash for the airport after being stuck in the treacle of cars exiting the Scottish Open and only minutes to spare for what turned out to be a typically delayed flight. Hopefully we will have something to present at the Iain Banks conference in London in September.
