Picture of the top of two mast close to a lighthouse behind hillsAdmittedly you can’t see a lot of her (just the top of the masts), but after passing Frenchman’s Rocks the Flying Dutchman travelled past the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse.

Picture of a tall lighthouse seen behind a field with sheepLooking south from a small hill at the coast near the Frenchman’s Rocks, a field with sheep and the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse on Orsay behind it. In the haze in the distance you can also just make out Ireland on the other side of the North Channel.
