During the Islay walking week in April 2015 we walked to the far north of Islay’s neighbour Jura to visit the Gulf of Corryvreckan with the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool. Here some of the walkers have arrived at our viewpoint, I estimate about 100-150 metres above the water. Amazing views were enjoyed from here, over to the whirlpool (not in the picture, it’s further to the left), to Scarba (on the left) and over to the mainland (including to Ben Cruachan, just right of centre).

@demurely38 we couldn’t have had better weather. And the German Navy was helpful as well. More about that in the coming days…

Hi Armin, I was on Islay for the walking Festival and although I came home on Saturday I feel part of me is still there!! I was there with one of my walking friends and we chatted to you a few times, we did the alternate walk on Jura that day and had a great time, we saw 4 dolphins on our way across and loads of deer, we even saw a deer swimming across from the little island it was a great sight. On finishing our walk we went into the hotel at the quayside and it was there that someone mentioned you had photos on some websites, as we had no photos of our own I thought maybe we could see some of yours (I did buy a book coming back on the boat of photos!!) I hope you don’t mind me doing this, hope to hear all is ok, thankyou Ila Culton (Hawick Scottish Borders)
Hi Ila, good to hear from you. I heard of the Dolphins and the Deer, so good to hear the alternate walk was great as well. I’m going to post more pictures from the walks over the coming days, so please come back for more.

The start to a beautiful day on Islay and Jura in mid April, looking East towards the Paps of Jura from the top of the hill at Kilchoman. I was on my way to Port Askaig to catch the first morning ferry to Jura for a walk to the Corryvreckan whirlpool.

Beautiful calm April early morning at Loch Indaal, Isle of IslayNot long after sunrise on a beautiful April morning, a brief stop at Loch Indaal on the way to Port Askaig for the ferry to Jura. A great start for the day of a walk to the Corryvreckan in the far north of Jura.

At the Jura road endThis is as far as you can drive from the crossing over the Sound of Islay, the end of the public road on Jura (I reversed my car from the car park, from where I took this picture, to get it next to the sign). It’s also the starting point for the long walk to the Corryvreckan whirlpool, well behind the hills in the distance. On the way you’ll also pass Barnhill, where Orwell wrote 1984.
