Certainly one of the largest construction projects ever on Islay, possibly the largest ever: The expansion of the ferry waiting/marshalling area as well as a car park and the rerouting of the road coming down the hill in Port Askaig. This is how it looked during the building work in 2004, see also the finished product in 2005.
Taken not long after it was finished, a panoramic view of the waiting/marshalling (not entirely sure what they call it officially?) area in Port Askaig in 2005. The Sound of Islay on the left, you can spot the Islay lifeboat to the left of the tall tree.
