A November morning on the Rhinns of Islay, looking over Port Charlotte, Loch Indaal and the Mull of Oa in the distance on the left. Some very heavy rain over the North Channel behind Port Charlotte.

A view from the Loch Indaal Way coastal path on the Rhinns of Islay: Loch Indaal lighthouse right in front of us. On the left the Mull of Oa with the American Monument. And in the distance Ireland. Of course not all of it, just a tiny part of it. But still.

A June evening near the southern end of Gigha at the beach of Gròb Bàgh. If you look carefully you’ll notice the seam of pure white quartz on the rocks sticking out into the water. The southern end of Islay with the Oa visible on the horizon.
