A view from an April walk on Kilchoman beach: Some Sea Pinks partially covered in sand on a rocky ridge at the northern end of the beach, moody clouds over Machir Bay in the background.

Standing next to the Kilchoman road overlooking Loch Gorm, the memorial cairn and plaque for the Kilchoman Bards. The inscription reads:
Erected By Many Friends
To The Memory of
DUNCAN & CHARLES
MACNIVEN
Kilchoman Bards
