Panoramic picture of a rugged coast with bays and cragsA view on Islay fascinating west coast, looking south from the cliffs at Sanaigmore. The cliffs in the shade in the foreground are Sliabh Bhrothain (72m), to the right of it the cliffs known as Sleeping Giant to some and Opera House Rocks to others (unusual to see it from the back). Behind it, mostly hidden, is Saligo Bay. Next the hills at Coull Farm, Cnoc Mòr (82m, left) and Carn Mòr (56m, right). Behind it is Machir Bay. In the distance Kilchoman with the Kilchoman Crags, leading on to the shoreline past Kilchiaran.

Picture of geese on and flying above a small loch with a rock formation in the backgroundA slightly vague title as unfortunately I can’t remember where exactly this picture was taken: The loch you see in the foreground is either Loch na Cachle or Loch Clach a’ Bhuaile just south west of Loch Gorm. Saligo with the well known rock formation of the Opera House Rocks / Sleeping Giant in the background.
