Picture of a coastal village on an island, ships in the distanceAn unusual view of Bowmore, taken from near Knockdon north of Bridgend. The woods below are around Eallabus and Carrabus before we look across Loch Indaal to Bowmore. The land behind Bowmore is around Laggan. The Oa is on the left (not in the picture, we’re looking just past it), the ships in the distance are travelling north on the North Channel.
