A view back to Port Ellen around Loch Leodamais from a walk across the Ard to the Swan’s Pool in June 2025. Port Ellen marina and the pier with the grain silo in the centre. The maltings just visible in the distance towards the right.

Spotted at the northern end of Kilchoman beach, some nice big smooth rocks in a row in the sand and shallow water.
