Some rough seas at the southern end of Machir Bay as an unnamed storm hit the west coast of Islay at the end of November 2025

A November morning on the west coast of Islay with a storm approaching, fully arriving later in the day. Long waves rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking as the approach the shore and Kilchoman beach.

Spotted in November 2025, a big heavy chunk of driftwood washed up high on Saligo Bay beach on the west coast of Islay. Where might it have come from, the west coast of Scotland, across the North Channel from Ireland or even further away?
