I’m not sure where exactly this is, except that it is somewhere between Gruinart and Ardnave. This was during a walk at the Islay walking week a few years back, we walked from Gruinart to Ardnave over the hills and returned along Loch Gruinart. The hills in the distance are near Sanaigmore.

Many of the lochs on Islay have a Crannog, this is the one in Loch Laingeadail south west of Ardnave.
