Picture of a group of walkers on a track above a bayA view from an Islay walking week many years ago, walking towards Machir Bay from Kilchiaran. This is at the Bealach na Caillich, the highest point of the track. The beach in Machir Bay can be seen in the distance, partially hidden by the steep cliffs above the track.

PS: Any Gaelic speakers who can tell me what Bealach na Caillich means?
