A view from the hills in the far north of Islay, looking over the north coast around Bholsa. Bholsa caves at the beach in the centre of the picture. Mala Bholsa in the distance on the left. If you look closely you can just make out Oronsay and Colonsay on the horizon across the sea.

Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis and raised beaches in the far north of Islay

One of my favourite beaches on Islay and the most northerly beach on the island, Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis near Rhuvaal lighthouse. The raised beaches along the north coast of Islay are towering over it while Mull and Jura are visible in the distance.
