Mala Bholsa from Ardnave on a June evening, Isle of Islay

A beautiful June evening on Islay, on the return leg from a walk around Ardnave and towards Sanaigmore I had this great view of Mala Bholsa (127m) with Jura in the background.

Tall waterfall in the north west of Islay

Picture of a tall waterfall at a rock faceIt’s probably much more impressive in full flow after a day of rain, but this waterfall still looked interesting enough on a sunny and warm June day. I’m not sure of its name (or the burn feeding it) as there are several on the map for the area and I can’t remember which one of them this is. In any case, we admired it near our destination during a walk to Mala Bholsa back in 2010.
