Out on Kilchoman beach near the southern end of Machir Bay a day before a storm arrived. Waves are running out on the beach around the rocky outcrop of Carraig Chomain, some dark clouds overhead, but also some brightness over the crags.

Out on Kilchoman beach for a walk to the southern end during a late November 2025 storm. Big waves are rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking over the cliffs sending spray high in the air.
