A view from the old radar station at Kilchiaran on the Rhinns of Islay, looking west across the North Channel to Ireland. I’m not sure what exactly we can see on the horizon, but it is somewhere around at least 40 miles away, possibly more, especially the hill/mountain towards the right.

A November afternoon view from the path through the Kilchoman dunes, looking out over Machir Bay and the North Channel. On the horizon you can just make out some of the hills of Ireland

A view from Four Winds above Portnahaven, looking out to Orsay with the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. If you look carefully you also just make out Ireland across the North Channel on the horizon.
