A November afternoon on Islay, somewhere on route from Kilchoman past Loch Gorm to Gruinart. Some beautiful mild low light over the low hills on Islay and the impressive Paps of Jura in the distance.

Haven’t done this for a while (the picture is a few years old), but it’s quite good fun when you do it (responsibly of course, below the high water line, so that it will be washed away during the next high tide). Managed to balance 10 stones on top of each other near the old wreck of the Patti on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay.

Spotted during an Islay walking week walk quite a few moons ago, two Mute Swans doing Swan things on a stony pebbly beach shore at the Sound of Islay.
