A view from the north eastern end of Kilnaughton beach, where Cornabus burn runs into the bay. Behind it on the left what to my knowledge is an old bathing hut (as of writing this not sure where it got, but I believe there are plans to restore it to its former glory). Port Ellen in the distance on the right.

Arriving at the Singing Sands near Port Ellen on a November early afternoon, the Sun briefly breaking through on a mostly cloudy day. If you look closely you can also make out Ireland on the horizon across the North Channel.
