Burn near Mala Bholsa, Isle of Islay

Picture of a burn (stream) in a remote rugged landscapeAn impression from a walk around the north of Islay, from Killinallan to Rhuvaal and on to Bunnahabhain. I’m not sure which one this is, but here’s a burn flowing through a deep gorge near Mala Bholsa (I think it might be Allt na Caillich, based on the direction it’s flowing). Mala Bholsa towering over the view in the background.
