I thought these three sheep were quite photogenic, I hope you agree? Spotted on the crags below the old radar station from the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track.

A view from a walk along the northern shore of Machir Bay to An Dòirlinn for a view to Eilean an Tannais-sgeir. Near An Dòirlinn is this wee stony beach at an inlet with a big rock lump in the middle. The view goes out over Machir Bay to the Kilchoman Crags, Kilchiaran and the coastline south towards Lossit Bay.

Can you spot the black dot in the centre of the picture? That’s me walking back down the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track, after having walked to Bealach na Caillich together with my sister Imke. For the return leg I had walked ahead as I needed to cover a few more miles while my sister took her time. This allowed her to capture this view of me as a tiny dot in the vast landscape with the Kilchoman Crags and the ruin of Kilchoman church visible in the distance.
