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.

A mostly cloudy June evening at the southern end of Gigha near Gròb Bàgh, looking west to Islay (centre) and Jura with the Paps of Jura (right). When I took the pictures for this panorama the sun was just hiding behind the clouds (it did show briefly at times), but it is just right of centre between Islay and Jura.
