Deer watching the Islay Malt Pillage

Picture of 5 Deer on a shore, two boats passing in the distanceA picture from one of the Islay Malt Pillages a number of years ago, taken near Claggain Bay on the south coast of Islay. The malt pillage is passing in the distance, on their way either to Jura or to the Sound of Islay (unfortunately I can’t remember exactly). A small group of deer is standing close to the shore, watching both me and the boats.

 

Admiring the View on The Oa, Isle of Islay

Kintyre is just visible in the distance on the left. This is me looking down over the cliffs a couple of years ago, picture courtesy of my sister Imke.
