I don’t know its name (nothing is mentioned on my OS map) but this is a burn flowing through a small glen in the far south of Islay, close to the most southerly point on Islay. We had to cross it during our walk on the Oa during the Islay walking week 2019.

During the Islay walking week 2019 we visited Beinn Mhór, at 202m the highest hill on the Oa. Here some walkers are enjoying a nice view over the steep cliffs and the American Monument in the distance.

A view from WalkIslay 2019, the walkers on the top of the steep cliffs of the Oa in the south of Islay, demonstrating the scale of these cliffs. A rather hazy day, on a clear day you could sea Kintyre and Ireland in the distance across the sea.
