Picture of a group of walkers passing through a ruined old gate at an abandoned farmAn impression from an Islay walking week walk on the Oa in the south of Islay. After our lunch break overlooking Loch Ard Achadh we left through this ruined old gate. Not sure what the place was called, there’s no name given on my OS map.
