Cattle and sheep on a hill north of Machir Bay, Isle of Islay

Spotted during a walk on Kilchoman beach, a good number of cattle and sheep had gathered on the top of a hill north of Machir Bay. I’m not entirely sure, but I think this is Carn Mòr (56m) west of Coull Farm.

A view from Kilchoman Beach over to Carn Mòr. A herd of cows is walking along a ridge on the hill, looking down on to the waves in Machir Bay.

Clouds were moving past quickly with rare and short breaks in the clouds. Here a short bright moment lights up the dunes while leaving the beach and the hills in the distance under dark heavy clouds.
