Seen from the westernmost of the crags between Machir Bay and Kilchiaran Bay, a view over the sandy expanse of Kilchoman beach with the dunes behind it, both below the rocky crags. On the horizon also Saligo and Sanaigmore.

Looking south along the west coast from Kilchoman beach on a beautiful November morning on Islay. A large cloud is hanging low over the hills around Kilchiaran and Tormisdale while waves are rolling into Machir Bay and on to the beach.

A great walk on a clear and sunny November day, from Kilchoman beach up to the old radar station at Kilchiaran. From near the station I enjoyed this great of the Paps of Jura behind the rugged hills of the Rhinns of Islay.
