Walkers on a cloudy Oa, Isle of Islay

Picture of a group of walkers on rugged landscape with steep cliffs over the seaA picture from an Islay walking week many years ago (the walker on the left is my late mother), walking along the impressive cliffs of the Oa just north of the American Monument. While it was cloudy and hazy the cliffs still look mightily impressive.

Not sure from where exactly I took this picture, but judging from the angle I think from Port Wemyss or somewhere near it on the Rhinns of Islay. The view shows the Mull of Oa on Islay with the American Monument on the left, in the distance on the right you can make out the coast of Ireland, probably Antrim.
