Seen from near the northern end of the Big Strand, a view across Laggan Bay to the Mull of Oa with the American Monument. After some earlier rain the clouds were lifting, giving a nice view of the cliffs with the monument on top.

At the southern end of the Big Strand in Laggan Bay, Kintra to the left, the Oa towards the right. Taken from the start of a walk to the northern end (5.5 miles, 11 miles return) on a quite changeable June 2025 morning.
