Picture of a man walking on a hill overlooking a dramatic coastline with a small beachA view from the west coast of Islay north of Saligo, that’s me walking on the top of the steep cliff. The beach below is Tràigh Bhàn, just above it you’ll find one of the memorials for the Exmouth disaster. Picture courtesy of my sister Imke, taken during one of our Islay walks in June 2013.
