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.

A panoramic view from an excursion to Colonsay with an Islay walking week a number of years ago. During our walk we passed Kiloran Bay with a nice view over the bay, beach and out to the Atlantic from the dunes.
