A view from the track between Kilchoman and Kilchiaran, looking over Machir Bay with Kilchoman beach while Granny(‘s Rock) is looking over everything. Some June haar is lingering over the bay and the beach.

One of the most photogenic dogs on Islay I think, the Border Collie. This one was having a great time on Kilchoman beach, running around and having fun, only taking a break to pose for this picture (and another one).

April gloaming over Machir Bay and Kilchoman, Isle of Islay

A beautiful April evening on the west coast of Islay. After watching/photographing/filming the sunset it’s always worth staying a bit longer for the gloaming, the beautiful mild last light of the day. Here the view goes out from the top of the high dunes over Kilchoman beach, Coul Point and Machir Bay. If you look closely you can also make out some geese during their roost on the beach.
