Wandered through Easdale Sound yesterday returning to Kilmelford and saw a boat in the harbour on Seil - think it was a blue Fisher 30 something.
Is that a viable mooring spot or are you best anchoring in the Sound itself.

Bottom is mostly slate I believe. Some advice from our webmaster here. We anchored west of the slate wharf in a flat calm last year but were advised to use the mooring for an overnight stay and were glad we did when the wind picked up from the NW.

Fischer on mooring near Seil SOund
It's a mooring - dropping the hook would be a bit pointless as I believe it's over 30m deep there - it's a flooded quarry. Also, I have been told it can be a bit gnarly getting in and out as they left a sticky-up bit when they dynamited the entrance.
Sound is filling up with moorings, but anchoring temporarily is OK - loose slate on the bottom, so not much good in a blow. MOre of a lunch stop than a cosy overnighter.
The gas regulator for the real ale pumps and the Guinness pump exploded on Saturday - the rumour that I drank all the guest ale is not true.
