Highland Cattle and Sheep, Isle of Islay

Image

Picture of three Highland Cattle in a field, sheep in a neighbouring fieldI must admit I can’t remember where and when I took this picture (sifting through several ten thousand pictures would take a while…), although I’ve got a suspicion it was near Kilchiaran. Some impressive Highland Cattle in one field, lots of sheep in the neighbouring field.

Picture of a rock formation looking like a human face silhouette, known as Granny's RockA view of Granny’s Rock high on the cliffs above Machir Bay from the track over to Kilchiaran. Below to the right two cyclists are pushing their bikes up the track, hopefully they had the time to admire the rocks on their way.

 

Walkers at Bealach na Caillich, Isle of Islay

Picture of a group of walkers on a track above a bayA view from an Islay walking week many years ago, walking towards Machir Bay from Kilchiaran. This is at the Bealach na Caillich, the highest point of the track. The beach in Machir Bay can be seen in the distance, partially hidden by the steep cliffs above the track.

PS: Any Gaelic speakers who can tell me what Bealach na Caillich means?
