Port Ban beaches and Lochindaal lighthouse, Isle of Islay

A view on the Rhinns of Islay just south of Bruichladdich on a July morning. Some of the small beaches at Port Ban in the foreground, Laggan Point on the left and the Oa with the Mull of Oa in the centre on the other side of Loch Indaal. Lochindaal lighthouse just visible in the distance on the right.
PS: The OS map shows this area as Port Flora, but to my knowledge it’s better known as Port Ban.

A view from the hills in the far north of Islay, looking over the north coast around Bholsa. Bholsa caves at the beach in the centre of the picture. Mala Bholsa in the distance on the left. If you look closely you can just make out Oronsay and Colonsay on the horizon across the sea.
