A view from the crags over Kilchoman, from left to right: Shepherd’s Cottage, Kilchoman Church (sadly a ruin now), Kilchoman Cottages and Kilchoman House. In the middle distance on the right you can also just make out Rockside farm with Kilchoman distillery. In the distance Loch Gorm and Carnduncan.

Another view of Eilean Mòr in Loch Gorm, this time from a bit further north. Not much to see of Loch Gorm Castle from this direction either. Not much to see behind it either, we are looking towards the Saligo area in the background.
