A November morning on the west coast of Islay, some varied and dramatic colourful clouds over Kilchoman beach and Machir Bay. A plane to/from (can’t remember which way it flew) America passing overhead, leaving its contrail.

Out on Kilchoman beach in the afternoon during a storm in late November 2025. Lots of sea foam washed up on the beach, sometimes blown around by a wind gust. Dark and dramatic clouds overhead, some light from the sun behind them breaking through.

Two into one: On Kilchoman beach two burns join before flowing into Machir Bay and the Atlantic. Allt na Crìche on the left, fed from Loch Gorm. Allt Gleann na Ceardaich on the right, coming down from Kilchoman.
