A panoramic view of the amazing pebble beach in Claggain Bay on a stunning April afternoon. The sun was right behind me, leading to my shadow being casted straight over the beach pointing out to sea.

Another view of An Fhaoileann just south of Claggain Bay from my visit in April 2026. Again seen from Rubha a’ Bhuic looking south. Which version do you prefer?
