Mull and Oronsay behind Loch Gorm, seen from the Kilchiaran radar station, Isle of Islay

A walk up to the old radar station between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran in late November 2025 was rewarded with some brilliant long distance views. Kilchoman church just peeking over the crags on the right. Then Loch Gorm and under dark clouds the north west around Ardnave. Across the water is Oronsay (Priory on the left)) with Colonsay hiding behind it. In the far distance the Isle of Mull with Ben More left of centre. Not sure what the mountains towards the right are.

A view from a ferry in the Sound of Islay, just after leaving Port Askaig on a November 2025 afternoon. In the distance Colonsay and Mull behind it, Ben More just visible on the left. On the right a bit of Jura with the lighthouse at Carragh an t-Sruith

A view from the north eastern end of Kilnaughton beach, where Cornabus burn runs into the bay. Behind it on the left what to my knowledge is an old bathing hut (as of writing this not sure where it got, but I believe there are plans to restore it to its former glory). Port Ellen in the distance on the right.
