I’m not sure what this once was, I’m guessing some kind of tide or water level indicator. We found it while walking at the bottom of the cliffs between McArthur’s Head and Proaig in the south east of Islay in April 2009.
A view of Proaig bay with the bothy in the converted old farm steadings. In the distance on the right a Calmac ferry is leaving the Sound of Islay on her way to Kennacraig on the mainland.
A panoramic view north and north-east from the summit of Islay’s highest hill, Beinn Bheigier at 491m. Opposite is Glas Bheinn (472m) with the Paps of Jura behind it in the distance to the right. Loch Allallaidh on the left. Proaig in the distance on the shore on the right.
