A view from the track between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran, from just below Bealach na Caillich. I believe the rocks in front have fallen off the crags below the old radar station, probably wise to be careful in the area. Below Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay in stretching out into the distance. Taken on a beautiful April 2024 day.
A panoramic view from the path through Kilchoman dunes, looking out over the dunes, Kilchoman beach and northern Machir Bay. Taken on a sunny April morning in 2024
Possibly the most impressive gravestone on Islay, a memorial headstone to a member of the family of an assistant lightkeeper at the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. I believe the inscription reads: Ja.B. Scott — August 20, 1845. I read that is uses the emblem of the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB).
This headstone used to be at the wall between Kilchoman church and Kilchoman Cottages, where I took this picture in June 2018. However, I understand it has recently disappeared. If anyone knows where it is please share any information you might have.
