It’s probably much more impressive in full flow after a day of rain, but this waterfall still looked interesting enough on a sunny and warm June day. I’m not sure of its name (or the burn feeding it) as there are several on the map for the area and I can’t remember which one of them this is. In any case, we admired it near our destination during a walk to Mala Bholsa back in 2010.

A slightly unusual picture for this blog, this is me and my father in Port Charlotte in June 2007, during his only Islay visit. After a long and fulfilling life he passed away this weekend at almost 87 years old. While he didn’t fall in love with Islay as much as the rest of his family he did agree to a family holiday on Islay after my late mothers cancer diagnosis in 2006. I’m not sure what I’m pointing out to him here, although I think it might have been the American Monument on the Oa where we were going to go on a walk the next day.
