Probably one of the best views you can get on Islay on a clear day, the view over the dramatic cliffs of the Oa with the American Monument, Kintyre in the background. Then the wide North Channel with Ireland just visible in the distance.

A view of Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay on a moonlit November evening, seen from near the Rhinns Medical Centre. The Oa just visible on the left, if you look very closely you can just make out Ireland in the far distance across the North Channel.

A view from the Loch Indaal Way coastal path on the Rhinns of Islay: Loch Indaal lighthouse right in front of us. On the left the Mull of Oa with the American Monument. And in the distance Ireland. Of course not all of it, just a tiny part of it. But still.
