Out on Kilchoman beach for a walk to the southern end during a late November 2025 storm. Big waves are rolling in from the Atlantic, breaking over the cliffs sending spray high in the air.

A different angle of the two burns joining on Kilchoman beach, looking from the side. Allt Gleann na Ceardaich in front of us, flowing sideways along the beach. Allt na Crìche joining it from the right, coming in from Loch Gorm, before they flow into Machir Bay and the Atlantic.

A different, distant, view of Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. The view is from the old radar station at Kilchiaran, looking north past Kilchoman. Saligo Bay is partially hidden by the ridge stretching out from Coull, but I think you can still make out a good part of it. Behind it a well known rock formation. Oh, and the Atlantic stretching out to the horizon.
