Rubha an Righ Offshore rocks and a small promontory are formed by a particularly resistant outcrop of Dalradian schist. The population of cormorants on this coast is remarkable, and here are a group of over one dozen sunning themselves dry.

Erosion platform with Jura Pasture on the wave-cut platform stretches out for a significant distance below the relict cliff-line. This level is referred to as the Main Rock Platform and is a pronounced landscape feature throughout the Hebrides, arising through marine erosion at a time when relative sea level was higher than today. Debate continues regarding the age and origin of this feature, whose simplest explanation lies in the rebound of the land surface after the load of ice was lifted after de-glaciation. The profile of distant Jura fills the horizon.

Seaweed, Port na Gaillinn Luxuriant growth of very bright green seaweed on the upper shore of Port na Gaillinn. I believe that the seaweed is one of the Enteromorpha species, but it needs a closer look to be certain.

Caravans at Port Bàn Part of the holiday village at Port Bàn, with a fine seascape and views of Islay and Jura in the distance. I particularly liked the incorporation of a monster glacial erratic boulder into the landscaping.
