Plane over Colonsay Golf Course

Picture of a small place flying over a golf courseProbably a sight you don’t get on many golf courses. This is the golf course on Islay’s neighbour Colonsay, which is right next to the island’s airfield. A small plane is coming in to land on the landing strip just to the left of the picture. I wonder if the golfers have to stop play when a plane is approaching or leaving to ensure they don’t accidentally hit it with a golf ball?

The hill on the other side of the beach is Carnan Eoin (143m), the highest hill on Colonsay. In the distance on the left you can just make out the Isle of Mull.
