A late morning in April 2016 on Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay. A big Islay sky with a lot of blue and a few clouds over the beach, the crags and the wreck of the Patti.

Returning to Kilchoman from a music evening out at the Port Charlotte Hotel I noticed it was a quite clear night. Clear nights on Islay are often spectacular as there is very little light pollution, so I decided to head out to Kilchoman beach for a view of the night sky over Machir Bay. I wasn’t disappointed, while there were a few clouds on the horizon (and the light from Portnahaven and Port Wemyss lit them up in the long term exposure) the starry night sky over Machir Bay was still amazing!
