Picture of a beach with white sand and surrounding coast, seen from cliffs above the beachLooking west over Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis and the north coast of Islay, Mala Bholsa visible in the distance. Thanks to Anna and Ewan I’ve learned that Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis means as much as Bay of the Two Doors (dà = 2; dorus = door) because of the natural arches and caves, there’s a natural arch in the cliffs on the right, there’s at least one other somewhere as well I assume.

Picture of a bay with a beach, rocks in the foreground, small waves rolling inA view at Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis in the far north of Islay. This is looking west from the eastern end of the bay, having walked through the natural arch. Small waves are rolling in, swirling around the rocks on the beach at this end.
