Picture of a group of walkers approaching a lighthouse at the bottom of a hillAn impression from an Islay walking week walk a few years ago, arriving from the hills in the north of Islay we paid a visit to Rhuvaal lighthouse. It was a quite hazy day, you can only just make out Colonsay in the distance.
