Wide Saligo Bay panorama June 2024, Isle of Islay

A beautiful June evening on the west coast of Islay, looking north from the southern end of Saligo Bay. A well known rock formation visible in the distance. The dunes stretching out on the right with the beautiful beach below. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic under the blue sky with a cloud bank moving in from the west.

June gloaming from Four Winds, Isle of Islay

June gloaming from Four Winds, Isle of Islay

The sunset wasn’t terribly exciting (notice the clouds on the horizon), but at least the gloaming as seen from Four Winds turned out rather nice with some beautiful colours. The view is north west with Lag Mhòr on the left and the Currie Sands at Claddach in the middle distance towards the right.

A view from Four Winds (former Coastguard tower, now holiday cottage) on a beautiful June evening, not long before sunset. The view is south to Orsay with the impressive Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. Below you can mainly the roofs of Portnahaven. The southern end of Eilean Mhic Coinnich just visible on the right.
