A beautiful and colourful June sunset watched from Four Winds above Portnahaven on the Rhinns of Islay. The coastline north west of Portnahaven visible below, if you look closely you can just make out the small Currie Sands beach in the distance towards the right.

Dog returning stick at Laphroaig, Isle of Islay

I played with this dog for a while during a visit to Laphroaig distillery in June 2024, it kept returning various sticks from Loch Laphroaig as I threw them out for it. Not sure if it was local, but it didn’t seem to belong to any of the other visitors around, so I assume it is living somewhere at Laphroaig or nearby on Islay.

Some beautiful June morning light at the western corner of Loch Skerrols with the outflow leading to Carrabus burn. Some lush spring green around the loch, lit up by the morning sunshine just breaking through some clouds.
