Haven’t done this for a while (the picture is a few years old), but it’s quite good fun when you do it (responsibly of course, below the high water line, so that it will be washed away during the next high tide). Managed to balance 10 stones on top of each other near the old wreck of the Patti on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay.

A November morning on the west coast of Islay, walking through the Kilchoman dunes to the beach in some beautiful mild light. Also note the big log in the burn.

After some heavy overnight rain the small burn (I still don’t know the name of) running down the Kilchoman crags on to Kilchoman beach is flowing in full spate under the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track bridge.
