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.
It’s been a ruin for many years now, to my knowledge well beyond repair. The ruin of Kildalton Castle on the south coast of Islay, two miles or so from Ardbeg. Only visible from the ferry or from Fairy Hill.
