Having enjoyed a stunning sunset and a beautiful gloaming on a November afternoon on Kilchoman beach I decided it was time to leave for a visit to Kilchoman distillery just up the road. On my way back to the car I had this last look back over the beach and Machir Bay in the gloaming over the west coast of Islay.

A view from Port Charlotte pier on a moonlit (not visible in the picture, it was further towards the right/east) night on the Rhinns of Islay. This is the northern end of Port Charlotte with the Rhinns Medical Centre and Daal Terrace. The Loch Indaal lighthouse flashing on the right. A few stars just visible in the moonlit sky, I think that’s the “Big Dipper” constellation you can spot.
