Port Ban beaches and Lochindaal lighthouse, Isle of Islay

A view on the Rhinns of Islay just south of Bruichladdich on a July morning. Some of the small beaches at Port Ban in the foreground, Laggan Point on the left and the Oa with the Mull of Oa in the centre on the other side of Loch Indaal. Lochindaal lighthouse just visible in the distance on the right.
PS: The OS map shows this area as Port Flora, but to my knowledge it’s better known as Port Ban.

Old 1999 “selfie” on Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay

A selfie from before it was called a “selfie” (apparently the first recorded use was in September 2002). That’s me on Kilchoman beach back in summer 1999, a bit sunburnt after a few brilliant sunny days on Islay.
