A view over The Oa, Ireland and the Rhinns from Turnaichaid (170m) on the Rinns of Islay. The view is mainly south, from left to right a variety of sights come into view: Starting on the left the view goes over Loch Indaal to The Oa, the hill is Beinn Mor (a Marilyn at 200m), on the Mull of Oa you can make out the American Monument if you look closely. Just below on the Rhinns is Loch Gearach, a reservoir. Looking out over the sea you can make out Northern Ireland in the haze, stretching all the way from left to right in the visible area. Gearach Forest stretches through most of the right side of the panorama. Behind it is Beinn Tart a'Mhill, the highest hill on the Rinns of Islay and a Marilyn at 232m. The views from it on a clear sunny day are amazing.
You can navigate by pointing your mouse over the panorama and moving it while pressing the mouse button. You can zoom in/out with the +/- controls just under the panorama. Some areas in the panorama are hotspots, if you move your mouse pointer over them a short explanation will show in the status bar of the panorama window.
