A scene from a November afternoon with sunny intervals on the west coast of Islay, looking down from the dunes on to the cliffs, rocks and beach in Saligo Bay.

A different, distant, view of Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. The view is from the old radar station at Kilchiaran, looking north past Kilchoman. Saligo Bay is partially hidden by the ridge stretching out from Coull, but I think you can still make out a good part of it. Behind it a well known rock formation. Oh, and the Atlantic stretching out to the horizon.

A panoramic view in late November 2025 from the dune path leading to the beach in Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. Waves rolling in from the Atlantic. I quite like the photogenic band of clouds in the distance while there are blue skies above us. The low but still bright afternoon sun on the left providing some beautiful light.
