Mull and Oronsay behind Loch Gorm, seen from the Kilchiaran radar station, Isle of Islay

A walk up to the old radar station between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran in late November 2025 was rewarded with some brilliant long distance views. Kilchoman church just peeking over the crags on the right. Then Loch Gorm and under dark clouds the north west around Ardnave. Across the water is Oronsay (Priory on the left)) with Colonsay hiding behind it. In the far distance the Isle of Mull with Ben More left of centre. Not sure what the mountains towards the right are.

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.
