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.

A closer look of the view across the North Channel to Rathlin from the Mull of Oa on Islay. A cargo ship is passing Rathlin East Lighthouse with the mainland in the background.

Probably one of the best views you can get on Islay on a clear day, the view over the dramatic cliffs of the Oa with the American Monument, Kintyre in the background. Then the wide North Channel with Ireland just visible in the distance.
