Picture of a young (?) deer behind some Gorse bushesI think we spotted it somewhere along the road between Gruinart and Loch Gorm, but I’m not sure. A deer behind some Gorse bushes on the side of the road. While it was with my camera I think my sister Imke might have taken the picture the day she arrived for one of her Islay visits a few years ago (so I’m filing this under guest pictures).

Picture of a hillside covered in gorse in bloom, a monument on the top

A colourful spring view from Islay a few years ago, gorse in bloom on the hillside below the Campbell monument near Bridgend. It has since been thinned out, but there’s still a lot of it around on Islay.
