Every year during the Islay Sessions in November on the Sunday morning people meet up to remember the late Fraser Shaw, the driving force behind the early sessions. For the first few years after his passing this took place in Bruichladdich, now it is at Fraser’s Cairn above the Octomore spring in Gleann Mòr.
This picture shows only a small part of the people who turned up, having a chat next to the cairn while others were still arriving.
Leaving Kilchiaran Bay for the walk back to Port Charlotte across the Rhinns of Islay, looking back the sun broke through the clouds, bathing Kilchiaran Chapel in some mild November afternoon sunshine. A beautiful peaceful view.
A slightly different take on a view I’ve shared previously, some driftwood partially covered in sand on Kilchoman beach. All in some beautiful low November afternoon sunshine with some distant clouds and some haze over Machir Bay.
