A beautiful November dawn at Loch Indaal from the Loch Indaal path on the Rhinns of Islay. The Paps of Jura visible in the slightly hazy distance. In front of us the rocky shore of Loch Indaal, if you look closely you can also spot a Shag on the large rocks.

A November evening on the Rhinns of Islay, standing on the rocky shore of Loch Indaal in the last light of the gloaming. In front of us the Loch Indaal lighthouse flashing, sending out its signal on the loch to keep passing seafarers safe.

A view from Bowmore over a calm Loch Indaal on Islay to the three Paps of Jura. One of them, Beinn a’ Chaolais, in the shade of a cloud, the other two in some nice mild sunshine. If you look closely you can also spot the John Francis Campbell monument just in front of Beinn a’ Chaolais.
