The far north of Islay with Rhuvaal lighthouse. Colonsay in the distance on the left. In the far distance Mull with Ben More (966m) just left of centre.

One of my favourite beaches on Islay and the most northerly beach on the island, Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis near Rhuvaal lighthouse. The raised beaches along the north coast of Islay are towering over it while Mull and Jura are visible in the distance.
