Kiloran Bay from the dunes panorama, Isle of Colonsay

A panoramic view from an excursion to Colonsay with an Islay walking week a number of years ago. During our walk we passed Kiloran Bay with a nice view over the bay, beach and out to the Atlantic from the dunes.

Whale sculpture/mosaic, Isle of Colonsay

Image

Picture of a view at a whale sculpture/mosaic created out of stonesA fascinating art work on Islay’s neighbour Colonsay, created by artist Julian Meredith and continuously being improved by visitors. Visitors are encouraged to add stones from surrounding raised beaches (e.g. Balnahard) to the outline created by Julian. While you can see from ground level the best views are from nearby hills, here from Carnan Eoin.
