Cliffs on the Oa in 1999, Isle of Islay

One of my oldest Islay pictures, taken in 1999. Still taken with film (I bought my first digital camera later that year I think), although I had them digitised by the film lab when I had the film developed. Back to the picture, the view is of the impressive steep cliffs of the Oa, looking southeast from below the American Monument. I don’t think this view will have changed much, although erosion likely will have changed some of the cliffs a bit.
