A view from Four Winds (former Coastguard tower, now holiday cottage) on a beautiful June evening, not long before sunset. The view is south to Orsay with the impressive Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. Below you can mainly the roofs of Portnahaven. The southern end of Eilean Mhic Coinnich just visible on the right.

Dig with a view at Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay

In June 2024 the Department of Archaeology at Reading University with Professor Steven Mithen had returned for more field work on Islay, this time for another dig at Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay. This (if I remember correctly) is a barley kiln they unearthed during this dig, a dig with a view over Loch Indaal with the Oa in the distance.
