A view from near Bowmore towards Port Charlotte on late October afternoon, not long to go until sunset. Some of the thousands of Barnacle Geese wintering on Islay have come in for the evening roost on the mud flats at the top of Loch Indaal.
A view across Loch Indaal from Port Charlotte to Bowmore. The tall chimney belongs to Bowmore distillery, the white buildings on the right are the warehouses (in addition to the handful at the distillery). The Gaelic college on the left. Islay High School towards the centre.
The title might be slight exaggeration, but at low tide you can indeed walk across at least a part of Loch Indaal. This is from an Islay walking week a few years ago. We started at the Gaelic College just outside of Bowmore and walked across to where the River Sorn runs into the loch at Bridgend. Also note the (hazy) Paps of Jura on the right.
