Seen from near the northern end of the Big Strand, a view across Laggan Bay to the Mull of Oa with the American Monument. After some earlier rain the clouds were lifting, giving a nice view of the cliffs with the monument on top.
In June 2024 the Department of Archaeology at Reading University with Professor Steven Mithen had returned for more field work on Islay, this time for another dig at Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay. This (if I remember correctly) is a barley kiln they unearthed during this dig, a dig with a view over Loch Indaal with the Oa in the distance.
A slightly wider view of the cargo ship passing East Rathlin lighthouse, seen across the North Channel from the Mull of Oa on Islay. The eastern end of Rathlin with the lighthouse on the right. Behind it the mainland. And if you look closely you can spot two birds on the left edge of the picture.
