A beautiful sunny April day on the Rhinns of Islay. The view is from the Loch Indaal Way coastal path over Port Charlotte on the shore of Loch Indaal in bright sunshine.

Looking through some rather old pictures taking me back to July 2001. Not the greatest quality, but then this was taken with my first digital camera with a fraction of the megapixels and modern phone has in 2026. It’s a submarine and a helicopter exercising off the south coast of Islay, seen from an Islay ferry (I think the Heb Isles).

Seen from an Islay ferry arriving in Port Ellen on an April evening: Some of the skerries off the coast and the mainland at Kintyre hidden by the clouds on the horizon
