A rainy summer day on Islay. A visit to Bowmore at lunchtime with a brief visit to the pier and beach. A friendly dog out for a walk on the beach.

Cliffs on the Oa on a rainy day, Isle of Islay

It isn’t always sunny on Islay, there’s also quite a bit of rain coming in from the west, from the Atlantic. Good for whisky and farming, both important industries on Islay. Not so good for tourism, although this picture was taken during an Islay walking week walk in the pouring rain. Yes, despite the pouring rain we still went out for the walk and enjoyed these views of some cliffs on the Oa.

One of Islay’s best preserved iron age forts, Dun Nosebridge near Mulindry, seen from the Glen Road. The main part of the fort is towards the right. It is thought to have been built around 850-500BC.
