On a clear day on Islay you get great views of Kintyre and Ireland from here, as it was on the day I took this picture in April 2019 it was rather hazy and we couldn’t see much. This is Rubha nan Leacan on the Oa, the most southerly point on Islay, as far south as you can get before getting into the water (I think there are probably some strong currents around here, so probably not a good place to go swimming)
