Picture of cliffs on a shore, rain moving away in the backgroundA view from near the American Monument on the Oa. After earlier rain the sun is breaking through. The rain can still be seen on the horizon, moving away south west.

 

Hillwalkers in the great wide open of the Oa, Isle of Islay

Image

Picture of a coastal landscape with cliffs and plateaus, a group of hillwalkers almost disappearing in the vastnessYou’ll have to look closely to see them, but there is a group of walkers walking along the cliffs opposite. This is in the far south of the Oa, looking west. Beinn Mhór (202m), our destination, visible in the distance. I believe this is just above Rubh’a’Bhuic (not visible, on the left).
