At the southern end of the Big Strand in Laggan Bay, Kintra to the left, the Oa towards the right. Taken from the start of a walk to the northern end (5.5 miles, 11 miles return) on a quite changeable June 2025 morning.

Walking back from a climb up the track to Kilchiaran my sister Imke noticed this nice view and light at the southern end of Kilchoman beach and took the picture. Nice waves rolling in from the Atlantic as the sun briefly breaks through the dark clouds.
