A view from the walk to the American Monument on the Mull of Oa in the south of Islay. The walkway across a boggy stretch nicely visible in front of us.

A view of the American Monument on the Oa in some nice mild sunshine in April 2024. The memorial is for the dead of two troop ships which sank during WWI.

Probably one of the best views you can get on Islay on a clear day, the view over the dramatic cliffs of the Oa with the American Monument, Kintyre in the background. Then the wide North Channel with Ireland just visible in the distance.
