Rhinns of Islay lighthouse from Beinn Tart a'MhillIt almost looks like an aerial picture, but this view is actually from Beinn Tart a’Mhill, at 232m the highest hill on the Rhinns of Islay. In front of the lighthouse are Port Wemyss on the left and Portnahaven on the right. Looking across the North Channel you can also make out the coast of Ireland in the distance.

In the haze in the distance you can also just make out Ireland on the other side of the North Channel.
