An evening ferry crossing to Islay, a distant view of McArthur’s Head lighthouse with some low clouds over the hills in the fading light.

One of the many caves on Islay, the cave at the foot of the cliffs below McArthur’s Head lighthouse, at the southern entrance to the Sound of Islay. I can’t remember the details, but I have a vague memory of a story of it once being used by whisky smugglers. Which might be true. Or not.
