Three islands in one picture: Islay, Jura and Gigha. Islay on the left, Jura on the right and Gigha in the front. Taken during the summer solstice sunset in June 2023.

A view just around the corner of the cottage I was staying in on Gigha. Some cattle resting on the shore of shallow Ceann an t-Sàilein. Kintyre in the distance on the other side of the Sound of Gigha. You can’t see it from here, but the small pier at Port na Gallochoille is just around the corner of the slightly higher green ground right of centre.
