Picture of a man standing on a beach, neighbouring islands in the backgroundA rare picture of me on Islay (as usually I’m behind the camera), courtesy of my sister Imke. This was on Traigh Baile Aonghais a few years ago, when we walked from Killinallan Gate to Mala Bholsa. And back. In the background are Oronsay and Colonsay, with the silhouette of Ben More on Mull in the far distance
