Picture of an aerial view of the ruin of a church, a few cottages in the backgroundThe Sun had just risen above the Kilchoman Crags on a beautiful October morning on Islay when I managed to capture this view of the ruin of Kilchoman Church from the air. All the roof trusses have fallen in, you can see some of them lying inside the church. In the background on the right the Kilchoman House Cottages. In the far distance towards the left you can just make out the Paps of Jura, a bit closer on the far left Loch Gorm.
