Picture of a beach with rocky outcrops on a beautiful sunny dayA beautiful beach and coastal landscape on the west coast of Islay’s neighbour Colonsay, taken during a day trip from Islay in April 2008. I’m not sure if it has a name, it can be found about a mile south west of Colonsay Airfield.

Update: It’s called Ardskenish. Thanks to Morna

Picture of a view from a beach between two islands fallen dry at low tideA popular day trip from Islay is a visit to Colonsay and there in particular if the tide is right the walk across the Strand to Oronsay. This view is from about half way across the Strand, looking east with the Paps of Jura in the distance.
