A beach in the south east of Islay (near Proaig), a burn from the hills runs across the beach into the sea. I’m not certain, but I believe it is Allt a’ Ghlinne Dhuibh, between Proaig and McArthur’s Head.
Probably one of the best views over the Sound of Islay can be had from Sgarbh Breac (364m) even on a cloudy day. This is the view south all the way to McArthur’s Head at the southern end of the sound. Right below us Bunnahabhain distillery. If you look closely you can spot the Jura ferry crossing the sound towards Port Askaig.
A view from McArthur’s Head lighthouse at the southern entrance to the Sound of Islay. The Calmac ferry MV Hebridean Isles is passing north on her way from Kennacraig on the mainland to Port Askaig on Islay. Taken in spring a few years ago, note the daffodils on the left.
