Arriving at Kilchoman beach after walking over the Kilchoman dunes path. The old wreck of the Patti embedded in the sand just left of centre, waves rolling in from the Atlantic crashing behind as they approach the beach.

A November late morning out on Kilchoman beach in beautiful sunshine. The incoming tide is swirling around the wreck of the Patti, I found the small wave on the right quite interesting. Bigger waves rolling into Machir Bay in the background, sending spray up in the air.
