A quite dramatic view of the Paps of Jura as seen from Carnan Eoin (143m) on Islay’s neighbour Colonsay. Beinn Shiantaidh (757m), Beinn an Oir (785m) and Beinn a’Chaolais (733m) from left to right. To the left of them also Corra Bheinn (573m).
When thinking of beaches on Islay’s neighbour Colonsay most people will first think of Kiloran Bay and the Strand. But there’s more on Colonsay: in the far north-east of the island we find Balnahard beach (or to give it its Gaelic name, Tràigh Bàn). A very remote and secluded beach with great views over to the mainland and to the Isle of Jura.
A view from the highest hill on Islay’s neighbour Colonsay, Carnan Eoin at 143m, over beautiful Kiloran Bay.
