Breathtaking scenery once you reach the monument, on the edge of the cliffs with far reaching views to Portnahaven and Antrim coastline.

The monument commemorates the loss of two troop ships in 1918, the Tuscania and the Otranto and the location overlooks the very spot where the Tuscania sunk. The monument is built in the shape of a lighthouse and is visible from many areas on Islay. A pleasant half hour meadow and moorland walk from the RSPB parking place takes one to the monument.

20 min walk from car park for fantastic views, over to Portnahaven, Ireland and Kintyre, also wildlife and if your lucky you might spot Golden Eagles.
