Picture of a coastal village on an island, ships in the distanceAn unusual view of Bowmore, taken from near Knockdon north of Bridgend. The woods below are around Eallabus and Carrabus before we look across Loch Indaal to Bowmore. The land behind Bowmore is around Laggan. The Oa is on the left (not in the picture, we’re looking just past it), the ships in the distance are travelling north on the North Channel.

Picture of a view across a strait, Ireland visible on the other sideA view from Islay across the North Channel towards Ireland. If memory serves me right this was from somewhere on The Oa. I believe the island in front is probably Rathlin Island, behind it would be Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.
