A rather damp and misty June morning on the west coast of Islay, out for a walk on Kilchoman beach. The wreck of the Patti sticking out of the sand, also Coull Farm just visible in the distance.

A slightly hidden gem on Islay, Swan’s pool behind the Ard in Port Ellen. A beautiful sheltered small natural harbour protected by rock formations just off the entrance.
