I played with this dog for a while during a visit to Laphroaig distillery in June 2024, it kept returning various sticks from Loch Laphroaig as I threw them out for it. Not sure if it was local, but it didn’t seem to belong to any of the other visitors around, so I assume it is living somewhere at Laphroaig or nearby on Islay.

Some beautiful June morning light at the western corner of Loch Skerrols with the outflow leading to Carrabus burn. Some lush spring green around the loch, lit up by the morning sunshine just breaking through some clouds.

A nice view in Saligo Bay from April 2024, a nice varied mix of rocks and sand, good waves rolling in from the Atlantic.
