A view from the track between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran, from just below Bealach na Caillich. I believe the rocks in front have fallen off the crags below the old radar station, probably wise to be careful in the area. Below Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay in stretching out into the distance. Taken on a beautiful April 2024 day.

Boulders on the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track, Isle of Islay

Spotted in April 2023, I don’t know if they’re still there now. Two boulders fallen on the track between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran, just below Bealach na Caillich. As you can see they didn’t block the track, someone just drove around them. Still, I wouldn’t want to have been in their path when they came down.
