A view from Islay across the North Channel towards Ireland. If memory serves me right this was from somewhere on The Oa. I believe the island in front is probably Rathlin Island, behind it would be Ballycastle in Northern Ireland.
A view of the American Monument on The Oa in the south of Islay. The monument was built in memory of the dead of the Tuscania and Otranto disasters in 1918. This view is looking south from the cliffs north of the monument.
Some young Islay birdlife spotted in June 2012. This is a Shag with two young ones in their nest near Soldier’s Rock on The Oa.
