The Rhinns of Islay lighthouse on Orsay right of centre, some of the houses at Claddach in the foreground. In the distance towards the left some of the houses at Portnahaven/Port Wemyss (the square building is a former Coastguard lookout tower, now a holiday cottage).

Picture of the top of two mast close to a lighthouse behind hillsAdmittedly you can’t see a lot of her (just the top of the masts), but after passing Frenchman’s Rocks the Flying Dutchman travelled past the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse. This was as much as I could see from the hills between Lossit Bay and Portnahaven.
