The counterpart to the Bunnahabhain view from the veranda panorama from a visit in April, this is the same view on a mostly grey, dull and dreich November 2023 afternoon. The Paps of Jura and the rest of Jura have disappeared. Sgarbh Breac only just recognisable on the left. No chance of spotting Colonsay, let alone Mull.

Having enjoyed a stunning sunset and a beautiful gloaming on a November afternoon on Kilchoman beach I decided it was time to leave for a visit to Kilchoman distillery just up the road. On my way back to the car I had this last look back over the beach and Machir Bay in the gloaming over the west coast of Islay.
