Panoramic picture of gorse in bloom along a burn (stream)A view from an April day on Jura many years ago, a burn flowing down towards the sea past an area of colourful yellow gorse. I’m not entirely sure where this was, although I have a vague memory this might have been at/near Keills and this could be Abhainn a’ Mhinisteir
