Spotted in April 2023, I don’t know if they’re still there now. Two boulders fallen on the track between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran, just below Bealach na Caillich. As you can see they didn’t block the track, someone just drove around them. Still, I wouldn’t want to have been in their path when they came down.

A study in blue? A view out north west from the crags at Kilchiaran, looking out into the distance over the Atlantic.
