A view from the hills in the south of Islay from an Islay walking week walk in April a good number of years ago. Bruichladdich in the distance towards the left on the other side of Loch Indaal, also to the right of Bruichladdich is Conisby higher up on the Rhinns of Islay. On this side of the loch towards the right, below the hill crest is Bowmore (well, parts of it).
A beautiful April evening at the west coast of Islay, standing outside of the ruin of Kilchoman church. In front of us the former Kilchoman school, now a private cottage. Behind it in the distance you can see the Atlantic stretching out into the distance under the soft last light of the gloaming.
A sunny but hazy April afternoon on Islay’s neighbour Jura. The view is from the hills somewhere near Lagg, looking out over the Sound of Jura. Towards the left is Skervuile lighthouse, behind it slightly to the right a fishing boat. In the distance we first see the Isle of Gigha with Kintyre behind it in the haze.
