Cattle resting at Ceann an t-Sàilein, Isle of Gigha

A view just around the corner of the cottage I was staying in on Gigha. Some cattle resting on the shore of shallow Ceann an t-Sàilein. Kintyre in the distance on the other side of the Sound of Gigha. You can’t see it from here, but the small pier at Port na Gallochoille is just around the corner of the slightly higher green ground right of centre.

A June evening near the southern end of Gigha at the beach of Gròb Bàgh. If you look carefully you’ll notice the seam of pure white quartz on the rocks sticking out into the water. The southern end of Islay with the Oa visible on the horizon.
