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.

Picture of a bay with a beach and offshore rocks on a grey and windy dayIt’s not always sunny from Islay, this view is from a rather grey and windy day in Machir Bay. Waves are rolling in, washing over Eilean an Tannais-sgeir near Coull Point. Even the sand manages to look fairly dull in this weather.
