As the name would suggest, American Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanus) has very pungent flowers, emitting a rather unpleasant smell! The plant can grow up to 1.5 metres; it was originally introduced as a decorative feature in designed landscapes, however it has since spread to wild habitats and has now been idenitfied as one of the target Invasive Non Native Species (INNS) to be removed if found. Scanned from a slide taken by CE Palmar.

American Monument, Mull of Oa, Islay, Scanned from a slide taken by CE Palmar. Built in 1920 by the American Red Cross, and designed by architect Robert Walker, the monument commemorates the loss of two troop ships in 1918, the Tuscania and the Otranto. Overlooking the very spot where the Tuscania sank, the monument is built in the shape of a lighthouse and is visible from many areas on Islay.
