One of Islay’s smallest and closest neighbours: Eilean an Tannnais-sgeir at the northern end of Machir Bay, here seen on a calm November afternoon.

Out on Kilchoman beach this is the southern end of the beach, where the rocky crags rise up to the steep Kilchoman crags and the crags leading to Kilchiaran. At times nice rock pools form here, great for exploring and playing.

Looking across the Sound of Islay from a ferry moored at Port Askaig to the hills and mountains in the south of Jura. The famous Paps of Jura on the left with Beinn a’Chaolais closest to us, Beinn an Oir to the left of it. I’m not sure of the hills in the centre and to the right, I think Glas Bheinn and Dubh Beinn will be among them. Also Feolin Ferry, the landing for the Jura ferry, at the shore on the right.
