A view from Bowmore beach across Loch Indaal on a sunny June 2025 afternoon, following a cloudy start to the day. In the distance Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay, Beinn Tart a’Mhill towering over it.
In mid June 2025 the Gaelic Conversation Group organised a Gaelic history walk (with translation) through Port Sgioba (Port Charlotte). Around 30 people joined the walk, here the group is passing the historic Port Charlotte Hotel.
A slightly hidden gem on Islay, Swan’s pool behind the Ard in Port Ellen. A beautiful sheltered small natural harbour protected by rock formations just off the entrance.
