Spotted on the beach in Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay, a large rock standing in the sand. The wind had blown away some of the sand around it, leaving an interesting moat around it.

Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay is probably one of the best places on Islay for some beach walking. If you’re so inclined you can also quite safely take your shoes/boots and socks off and walk barefoot. Just like these two beach walkers, enjoying a refreshing beach walk under the backdrop of the crags between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran.
