A place I always like to return to, this big lump of rock at the southern end of Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. Provided the tide is low enough it works nicely as a turn marker you can walk around before walking back north.

Can you spot the black dot in the centre of the picture? That’s me walking back down the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track, after having walked to Bealach na Caillich together with my sister Imke. For the return leg I had walked ahead as I needed to cover a few more miles while my sister took her time. This allowed her to capture this view of me as a tiny dot in the vast landscape with the Kilchoman Crags and the ruin of Kilchoman church visible in the distance.
