A view of the American Monument and some steep rocks on the Mull of Oa on a sunny day on Islay

A memory from my late mother’s first visit to Islay bck in 2003. One of the many places I took her to were the Singing Sands near Port Ellen. Unfortunately it was a rather cloudy and later rainy day, I remember we only just made it back to the car before the heavens opened for deluge of rain.
Picture of course taken by my mother.

A slightly wider view of the road to the American Monument on the Oa. The old red phone box at Risabus on the left, now the smallest shop on Islay. The American Monument on the Mull of Oa in the distance towards the right.
