Picture of two walkers arriving at a coastal bothyAn impression from an early Islay walking week, by now over a decade ago. Two of the walkers arrive at An Cladach bothy at the Sound of Islay. The open fire was going in the cottage (note the smoke coming out of the chimney), lit by the walk leader Donald James MacPhee earlier that morning.
