A view from hills to the south east of Loch Finlaggan, possibly Robolls Hill. A good number of Barnacle Geese in flight over the loch (picture was taken during a walking week walk a number of years ago in April)

A calm April evening some time ago, only a few ripples from a light breeze on the water. One of the Islay ferries (the MV Hebridean Isles) approaching on the horizon, travelling from Port Ellen to Kennacraig on the mainland. Our journey takes us in the other direction, from the mainland to Islay.

A nice view at Saligo, just before Saligo River reaches the beach at Saligo Bay (out of view behind us). On the top of the hill/dune sits Saligo Cottage.
