I blog about Islay. Mostly
A visit to Kilnaughton beach and the Singing Sands before heading to Peatzeria for my last #Islay lunch for this visit

Beautiful dawn on Kilchoman beach for my last morning walk for this #Islay visit

Stormy and wild afternoon on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of #Islay, quite a bit of sea foam around in strong winds and impressive waves

Out for my daily #Islay beach walk later than planned, but managed to be there right for the 30 minutes where it briefly brightened up. Heavy rain on Kilchoman now

Rather different weather to yesterday's sunshine, pouring rain on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of #Islay, still went for a walk though, need to get the miles in.

Some more views from the Rhinns of #Islay, this time from the old radar station above Machir Bay and Kilchoman beach

Spontaneous walk up the Kilchoman to Kilchiaran track, glad that I did: Amazing views including to some of #Islay's neighbours like Ireland, Colonsay and Isle of Mull

Chilly northerly wind and amazing light at Saligo Bay on the west coast of #Islay

Beautiful dawn followed by bright November morning sunshine on Kilchoman beach on #Islay. Brisk northerly wind.

Brilliant long morning walk on Kilchoman beach and up the dunes, ever changing weather and stunning light. A great start to this #Islay visit.

Dramatic clouds and very heavy showers while steaming towards #Islay on the MV Finlaggan

Spent a few hours in Bowmore before it's time to catch the ferry and leave #Islay. Shopping at Spirited Soaps and The Celtic House, lunch at Peatzeria. Now enjoying some sunshine before driving to Port Askaig

Last morning walk on Kilchoman beach for this #Islay visit

Rather cloudy and grey today after yesterday's glorious sunshine. Still out for another walk on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of #Islay
June 27, 2025 at 11:31 AM
A quick stop at Saligo Bay on the west coast of #Islay, just in the nick of time before the sun disappeared. Some good waves coming in.
June 26, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Out for another #Islay beach walk, back on Kilchoman beach but with a twist, exploring the shore north of Machir Bay
June 26, 2025 at 10:08 AM
Made it all the way to the top of the longest beach on #Islay, the Big Strand at 5.5 miles. Now starting the return walk back to Kintra
June 25, 2025 at 8:44 AM
A different #Islay beach walk for me this morning, out on the Big Strand walking north from Kintra
June 25, 2025 at 7:41 AM
That's Imke leaving #Islay on the old trooper MV Isle of Arran

Another day, another walk on Kilchoman beach on the west coast of#Islay. Mixture of sunshine and clouds, also a lot of water running off the hills after last night's rain: youtube.com/shorts/GbusB...

An #Islay visit wouldn't be complete without a pizza at Peatzeria
June 23, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Blustery late morning walk on Kilchoman beach, #Islay. Looks like we're going to avoid most or even all of the rain showers.
June 23, 2025 at 10:21 AM
Something a bit different this evening, went to a piano concert on #Islay.
June 22, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Trying to spot some birds at Gruinart, #Islay.
