Islay Highland cattle, gorse and the Paps of Jura

Two Highland cattle in front of a gorse bush on the Rhinns of Islay, next to the Loch Indaal Way coastal path. Loch Indaal behind the bush with the Paps of Jura nicely visible in the distance.

A closer look at the Loch Indaal lighthouse just outside Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay. The telephoto lens makes it look like the lighthouse is almost standing between the Paps of Jura, in reality they are about 17 miles away.

A view from either the Loch Indaal Way coastal path or the track down to Port Ban (I’m not entirely sure). The small sandy beach at Port Ban on the Rhinns of Islay just visible below with Loch Indaal stretching out into the distance. The impressive Paps of Jura visible in the far distance.
