Gloaming at Kilchoman School Cottage (2), Isle of Islay

A beautiful April evening at the west coast of Islay, standing outside of the ruin of Kilchoman church. In front of us the former Kilchoman school, now a private cottage. Behind it in the distance you can see the Atlantic stretching out into the distance under the soft last light of the gloaming.

A sunny but hazy April afternoon on Islay’s neighbour Jura. The view is from the hills somewhere near Lagg, looking out over the Sound of Jura. Towards the left is Skervuile lighthouse, behind it slightly to the right a fishing boat. In the distance we first see the Isle of Gigha with Kintyre behind it in the haze.
