Islay's Coastline - A Photographic Tour

On 6th May 2008 Becky Williamson completed her circumnavigation of the Isle of Islay. It had taken almost four years to complete and raised over £500 for the Marine Conservation Society. Islay has approximately 120 miles of beautiful, rugged coastline and yet much of it is marred by the ugly presence of plastic, discarded fishing equipment and other flotsam and jetsam. The Marine Conservation Society champions the need for marine wildlife protection, sustainable fisheries and clean seas and beaches.

Fortunately there remains a lot of untainted scenery round the long and winding coastline of Islay and Becky was only once without her binoculars and camera throughout the walk (you’ll need to buy the book to find out when, where and why!) She took hundreds of photographs and selected over a hundred to include in the book. The photographs are ordered in a clockwise sequence round the island and are accompanied by seven hand-drawn maps. This is a beautiful keepsake or gift for anyone with a love of the Isle of Islay. Check out Beckies Blog to get an idea of what she has done.

The book, which is priced at £20.00, can be purchased at Beckies website www.beckydrewpictures.co.uk any time soon, or it can be ordered online from today in the Islay Info Shop by clicking here. For more info contact Becky by email at enquiries@solus-is-sith.co.uk or phone 01496 810 709.
