My parents passing Killinallan Point, Isle of Islay

My late parents (my mother passed away in 2008, my father in 2017) on our last family holiday together on Islay in 2007. This was I think the longest walk during that holiday, I took them from Killinallan gate to Gortaintaoid and then back along the beach around Killinallan Point. This is them going around Killinallan Point on the final stretch of the walk, Loch Gruinart stretching out into the distance on the right.

An interesting view from the north coast of Islay, somewhere between Mala Bholsa and Bholsa caves: A big hole in the cliffs offers a view of a beach below.

A nice view at Saligo, just before Saligo River reaches the beach at Saligo Bay (out of view behind us). On the top of the hill/dune sits Saligo Cottage.
