It all looked very promising driving down the Kilchoman road on an April evening, some nice evening sun over Loch Gorm and Saligo. But when I arrived at Kilchoman beach it turned pretty much into a non-event. While I made my way through the dunes the sun disappeared behind the clouds on the horizon.
