Brian<p>Just had a fantastic wee day trip to Gigha! ☀️ Hired e-bikes from Gigha Bikes &amp; Boats (shoutout to the super helpful Craig!) and explored the whole island. 🚴‍♀️💨 The Wee Isle Cafe was the perfect pit stop - seriously, the ice cream was out of this world! 🍦 Highly recommend a visit if you're looking for stunning scenery. And no visit to an island is complete without a visit to a graveyard Kilchattan <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Gigha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gigha</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IsleOfGigha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsleOfGigha</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ebike</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Travel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IceCream" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IceCream</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/weeislecafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weeislecafe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Kilchattan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kilchattan</span></a></p>
