The sun setting over the Firth of Clyde simply never disappoints and are never the same. There is nothing better than relaxing after a hard days work than sitting at the window with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down.
Tonight we enjoyed an early autumn sunset over Toward Point while CalMac’s MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid) is sailing into the sunset en route to Rothesay on Bute.
While enjoying a fiery sunset tonight, the HNMLS Van Amstel was sailing down the Firth of Clyde. Unfortunately, the Dutch frigate F831 got it’s timing all wrong as it passed Toward Point lighthouse too late for the perfect shot of the frigate in the fiery sunset.

The sunset over the Firth of Clyde are never the same. On Friday and Saturday night we were treated with cloudy sunsets. From a panorama on Friday night to a closeup of the sun on Saturday night, topped off with the MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid) sailing into the sunset.
We simply cannot get enough of the sunsets over the Firth of Clyde. The sunsets are spectacular and every sunset is different!
Tonight’s sunset provided vivid reds and ambers against dark purple hues with a strong reflection on the water. The MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid) coming in against the backdrop of the colours will be a strong contender for my picture of the year.
A stunning bright rainbow appeared against the dark and brooding skies over the lighthouse at Toward Point.
A Vanguard class nuclear submarine is heading out, sailing by Toward Point with it’s usual police escorts.
