A slightly different angle to another picture, Orsay with the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. Taking in parts of Port Wemyss and Portnahaven seen from Four Winds on a stunning June evening just before sunset. Possibly the best views I’ve ever experienced after arriving on Islay (I had arrived on the ferry around 45 minutes before enjoying this view).

Seen between some rocks/cliffs at Currie Sands, the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse on Orsay off Port Wemyss/Portnahaven.

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.
