Lighthouse keeper’s headstone at Kilchoman, Isle of Islay
Image
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.
Gulls on Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay
Image
An impression from a walk on Kilchoman beach on a sunny April day, near the southern end of the beach. Some gulls on the beach and in the water near the shoreline, complemented by a gull flying past at the top of the frame. Captured by chance, leaving me wondering if it had been better if the gull had been fully in the frame or if it is perfect as it is?
