Picture of high cliffs on a western coastA view from a coastal walk on the south west coast of Islay, between Lossit Bay and Kilchiaran Bay. We are looking north, Kilchiaran Bay is hidden behind the high tops on the right. The northern end of Machir Bay is just visible in the distance, Coull Point to the left of it.

Walkers at Bealach na Caillich, Isle of Islay

Picture of a group of walkers on a track above a bayA view from an Islay walking week many years ago, walking towards Machir Bay from Kilchiaran. This is at the Bealach na Caillich, the highest point of the track. The beach in Machir Bay can be seen in the distance, partially hidden by the steep cliffs above the track.

PS: Any Gaelic speakers who can tell me what Bealach na Caillich means?
