My parents passing Killinallan Point, Isle of Islay

My late parents (my mother passed away in 2008, my father in 2017) on our last family holiday together on Islay in 2007. This was I think the longest walk during that holiday, I took them from Killinallan gate to Gortaintaoid and then back along the beach around Killinallan Point. This is them going around Killinallan Point on the final stretch of the walk, Loch Gruinart stretching out into the distance on the right.

Not a regular sight, but occasionally someone water-skiing can be spotted on Loch Indaal. Here we can see Uiskentuie in the background, another view has Bowmore in the background. Both seen from Bruichladdich pier.
