A memory from an Islay walking week a number of years ago, the walkers heading into the hills in the south east of Islay.

Almost a decade ago, the first Islay walking week excursion to Texa (and so far the last, a second attempt had to be cancelled due to strong winds).. Lunch was at Ceann Garbh in the east of the island with views to Lagavulin distillery on Islay.

One of my favourite views on Islay, the raised beaches along the north coast with Mala Bholsa in the distance.
