Out for a walk on Kilchoman beach on a beautiful June early morning. The rising early morning sun is shining some beautiful mild light on the Kilchoman crags and the beach, with waves rolling into Machir Bay and breaking as they reach the beach.

A view up Main Street in Bowmore, various stores along it. The Islay Pharmacy, Spirited Soaps and the Co-Op to name a few. At the top the famous Round Church, round so that the devil can’t hide in a corner. Picture taken in June 2025.

A place I always like to return to, this big lump of rock at the southern end of Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. Provided the tide is low enough it works nicely as a turn marker you can walk around before walking back north.
