The road to Kilchoman, Isle of Islay

Picture of a single track road winding through a rugged landscape with some dunesUsually the final stretch of the drive for my Islay visits, the winding single track road to Kilchoman to arrive at Kilchoman House Cottages. I love how the road swings up the hill and past the dunes, often there’s a big bull in the field on the right, just below the sand dune. The ruin of Kilchoman Church at the end of the road.
