An overcast November afternoon on the Rhinns of Islay, a hazy view over Loch Indaal. In front of us Port Charlotte’s OK rock, just a few feet off the rocky shore.

Waves Splashing Over OK Rock, Isle of Islay

Picture of a rock with OK painted on it, waves washing over itThis rock can be found near Port Charlotte on the shore of Loch Indaal, someone has painted the letters OK on to it. You can see the Mull of Oa with the American Monument in the distance. One explanation I’ve heard is that if you made it over to the rock without getting wet you were OK.
