Yes indeed it is the Mississippi. The very end of it. Technically, I was looking for the start State and the end State, Minnesota and Louisiana respectively, but it’s been a long haul getting here. Thanks everyone.
Ah, but then we could have had an argument about whether the river was actually the Mississippi or the (considerably longer) Mississippi-Missouri, with its source in Montana.

Could it be Gometra (South) Harbour? If so the cottages were once occupied by boatmen who rowed passengers ashore to Staffa from the MacBrayne's steamer. (A journey I undertook as a child about 1955.)

Nice Anchorage in the right wing.
