Picture of two men on a hill overlooking a loch and the sea on a hazy dayAn impression from an Islay walking week walk on the Rhinns of Islay a number of years ago. Two walkers are enjoying the views from the hills above Rockside Farm (hidden behind the hills on the left, you can just see the access road) over Loch Gorm on the right and Saligo Bay in the distance. Unfortunately it was quite hazy, otherwise the views would have been even better.
