One of the clearest views I’ve experienced across the North Channel from Islay to Ireland. Depending on how you measure it this is somewhere around 25 miles / 40 kilometres. The view is from the Mull of Oa on Islay across the North Channel. In the foreground you can spot Rathlin, behind it Ireland.
A view from the walk to the American Monument on the Mull of Oa in the south of Islay. The walkway across a boggy stretch nicely visible in front of us.
