A beautiful moonlit November night on the Rhinns of Islay, looking out over Loch Indaal from Port Charlotte pier. Loch Indaal lighthouse on the left, shining its light out to sea. The silhouettes of the Paps of Jura in the distance on the right. As it was a full Moon night not many stars are visible, but if you look closely you can still spot a few.
