While out on a long walk on the Big Strand I was lucky enough to arrive at Islay International Airport just at the moment the service plane from Glasgow arrived. Here it is approaching over the Big Strand to land at the runway to the right.

Watched on a late June early morning in Port Ellen after dropping off my sister at the early morning ferry, a small fishing boat leaving for a fresh catch, cruising through the calm seas. Kintyre visible on the horizon.

Another view of the landslide on the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track, here seen from the track. My sister Imke on the left, giving an idea of the size of the landslide.
