It isn’t always sunny on Islay, sometimes it rains, sometimes it’s heavy low clouds hanging over the island for hours on end. Here seen from Ballitarsin on an October morning. You can still spot the Bruichladdich warehouses on the other side of the loch. Oh, and the next morning it was sunny again.

A variety of gulls feeding on Loch Indaal just off Bruichladdich, Bowmore visible in the distance on the other side of the loch.
