Milestone north of Bruichladdich, Islay With each name taking up 3 lines! I've passed this one many times but it's difficult to stop here, on a corner, so have never noticed its unusual form.

Trigpoint, Cnoc Iolairean, Islay Looking south-west towards the Rhinns peninsula and Beinn Tart a'Mhill (also with a trig point).

Believe it or not, at 29 m this is not Islay's lowest trigpoint! Gortantoid point and Orsay island both boast trigpoints at only 24 metres above sea level!

Woods at Foreland, Islay This photo was taken in June, about three weeks after one of the worst storms ever to battle the island. All the trees are brown, burnt by the salt and wind. It really is a distressing sight to behold. Beinn Bheigier in the distance.
