A stormy day on the west coast of Islay in late November 2025. Waves are rolling into Machir Bay, running up Kilchoman beach all the way to the dunes with the sea foam being blown around by the strong wind.
Most people will have only seen it from Kilchoman beach, here is a closer look at Eilean an Tannais-sgeir here seen pretty much as close as you can get from An Dòirlinn.
A view from a walk along the northern shore of Machir Bay to An Dòirlinn for a view to Eilean an Tannais-sgeir. Near An Dòirlinn is this wee stony beach at an inlet with a big rock lump in the middle. The view goes out over Machir Bay to the Kilchoman Crags, Kilchiaran and the coastline south towards Lossit Bay.
