Picture of machair full of flowersI’m not entirely sure where I took this picture, apart from that it was almost certainly somewhere around Saligo Bay or Machir Bay. Most likely probably somewhere just north of Saligo Bay. A beautiful sight, thousands of flowers in the machair.

A sunny view over Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay. I took this picture from the Kilchoman Crags, steep hills and cliffs towering over the bay. Dunes with some machair in the foreground, lots of colourful flowers grow here in the summer.
