A view from the end of one of the beaches in Port Charlotte, looking along the rocky shore below the hotel (not visible on the right). Behind the rocks the pier with two anglers standing at the end trying to catch some fish. The coastline to Laggan Point on the other side of the loch with the hills on the Oa in the far distance

Rhu Road and shore in Port Charlotte, Isle of Islay

A view down Rhu Road in Port Charlotte on the shore of Loch Indaal on a nice April morning. I believe the cut on the right is called Port na Ceasach (at least that’s what I take from the OS map). Laggan Point on the other side of the loch.

An impression from the archaeological dig at Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay in June 2024. If you look closely you can just make out the Port Charlotte water treatment plant in the distance towards the left, the village of Port Charlotte is at the shore of Loch Indaal behind it.
