A place I always like to return to, this big lump of rock at the southern end of Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. Provided the tide is low enough it works nicely as a turn marker you can walk around before walking back north.

A view from a walk out to Swan’s Pool on the Ard at Port Ellen on an overcast June afternoon. Laphroaig distillery in the distance with Loch Laphroaig towards the right.
