Extending from near Ardnave in the north to Portnahaven in the south, the western shores are exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. It is a large site with geological, biological and ornithological interest over a mosaic of open habitats with coastline, boggy moorland, woodland scrub and low-intensity agricultural land. The Rinns of Islay SSSI contains internationally-important exposures of rocks whose affinity is uncertain. The succession of Colonsay Group rocks is almost entirely visible in the coastal rocks, along the north-west edge of the SSSI. The rocks originated as sea-floor muds and sands, which were then much folded. In the south, a second group of rocks, the Rinns Complex, is seen below a complicated contact zone. These igneous rocks (cooled from molten rock) have been greatly altered by heat and pressure.

  • Kintour Landscape Survey Report
    DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

The survey area is situated on the Ardtalla Estate within Kildalton parish in the south east of Islay (Figure 1) and survey work was undertaken in early April 2017.

  • Islay February 2019
    Islay February 2019 February 20th : Sandwich Bay to Islay The group left the Observatory at 5 a.m. and had a straightforward run up to Gatwick with the ever-efficient Airport Connections. Our Easyjet flight to Glasgow was delayed by an hour but the flight itself was quicker than scheduled – did the pilot really put his foot on the accelerator? At Glasgow Airport we met with Peter and the mini-bus was then duly collected from a large company based about 20 minutes away in Clydeside. Peter and Ken came back to the airport to collect the group and then we were on our way in dreich conditions out of the city and north along the shores of Loch Lomond, then off through the sea lochs and mountains of Argyll. We stopped for lunch at the Loch Fyne Centre and again for a short stretch of the legs at historic Inveraray and, near the journey’s end, at Tarbert. Here we saw the first ‘good’ birds of the trip in the form of 5 Black Guillemots out in the harbour. From there it was a short journey to the ferry terminal at Kennacraig and, with night fast approaching, there were some rather nice sunset effects through the now-lifting clouds. A Red-throated Diver was swimming around the jetty as the M. V. Isle of Arran appeared from the south to take us across to Islay. A smooth crossing, landing at Port Askaig, and then across the dark island to the hotel at Port Charlotte for a decent night’s sleep in this very comfortable hotel set overlooking the outer reaches of Loch Indaal.

Southern Hebrides Islands Rivers Project: Survey of fish populations and habitats 2012. Argyll Fisheries Trust, Inveraray, Argyll For further information on this report please contact; Argyll Fisheries Trust, Cherry Park, Inveraray, Argyll, PA32 8XE SURVEY REPORT Summary Southern Hebrides Islands Rivers Project: Survey of fish populations and habitats 2012. Background Argyll Fisheries Trust undertook surveys of fish populations at 94 sites on 35 river catchments on the Isle of Islay, Jura, Coll and Colonsay in 2012. Surveys of fish habitat were also undertaken on 56.8 km of river in ten catchments. The aims of the surveys were to identify fish species distribution, their relative abundance, and identify factors affecting the productivity of fish habitats. Main findings Electrofishing surveys found six native species; Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), Brown trout (Salmo trutta fario), European eel (Anguilla anguilla), Flounder (Platichthys flesus), Three- spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and Lamprey (Lampetra spp.). Juvenile Atlantic salmon were found in eight catchments on the Isle of Islay and three catchments on the Isle of Jura, while no salmon were found on the Isles of Coll or Colonsay. Juvenile brown trout were found in all catchments surveyed on Islay and Jura, but were not found in five of the 13 smaller streams surveyed on the Isle of Coll or four of the five streams surveyed on Colonsay. Where present the relative abundance of juvenile fish varied widely between survey sites in each catchment, ranging from a relatively low to very high abundance when compared to a classification scheme for West Scotland.
