An Islay beach walk in November 2024, out on Kilchoman beach looking south towards the crags and out over Machir Bay not long before sunset

A November afternoon out on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay, looking out over Machir Bay and the Atlantic from near the wreck of the Patti. Some heavy dark clouds overhead with some heavy rain on the horizon (luckily it didn’t get to the beach while I was there)

A view from the crags over Kilchoman, from left to right: Shepherd’s Cottage, Kilchoman Church (sadly a ruin now), Kilchoman Cottages and Kilchoman House. In the middle distance on the right you can also just make out Rockside farm with Kilchoman distillery. In the distance Loch Gorm and Carnduncan.
