Another view of the Ronjafisk in the Sound of Islay, seen from a ferry en route to Kennacraig. McArthur’s Head lighthouse just visible in the distance on the left.

A view from an Islay ferry en route to Port Askaig on a beautiful April afternoon. McArthur’s Head lighthouse on the right, in the distance is the headland around Carraig Mhòr. Not visible from here, but Proaig is in the bay between the two, hidden behind the lighthouse.
Lighthouse keeper’s headstone at Kilchoman, Isle of Islay

Possibly the most impressive gravestone on Islay, a memorial headstone to a member of the family of an assistant lightkeeper at the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. I believe the inscription reads: Ja.B. Scott — August 20, 1845. I read that is uses the emblem of the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB).
This headstone used to be at the wall between Kilchoman church and Kilchoman Cottages, where I took this picture in June 2018. However, I understand it has recently disappeared. If anyone knows where it is please share any information you might have.
