Isle of Islay pictures - beaches, cliffs and hills

Welcome to my page with pictures from Islay. I hope I can show you a little bit of the beauty of Islay, it's sandy beaches, it's cliffs and it's hills. All pictures were taken by myself during my holidays in 1999.
Loch Gruinart, a popular place to watch seals. I saw several on one afternoon on the north-eastern side	View over the hills around Loch Gorm
Loch Finlaggan. You can visit Eilean Mor, seat of the Lord of the Isles a few hundred years ago.	View over Loch Indaal towards Bowmore from the Rhinns of Islay.
Back to top Machir Bay, looking south	Machir Bay, southern end during low tide
The American Monument on the Mull of Oa. This monument was erected by the American Red Cross in memory of the dead when the Tuscany sank in 1918	View from the Mull of Oa. On clear days you can see Ireland from here, unfortunately it was quite hazy when I took this picture
