An unusual post for an Islay pictures photoblog as this picture is approximately 60 miles as the crow flies away from Islay. However, this picture shows an area many people will travel through on the way to Islay. The view is from Beinn Narnain over Loch Long and Arrochar with Ben Lomond and Loch Lomond in the distance on the left. The A82 from Glasgow takes us up Loch Lomond before we turn onto the A83. At Ardgartan the A83 turns right to the Rest and Be Thankful, just behind the ridge on the right.

Pictures from the Isle of Islay, Scotland
If I had the resources and time I would hike the Munros but also any high ground on Islay too!
Have to say I was quite lucky when I did this walk. Stopped for a day en route from Islay for it. It rained the day before and the day after…
In the Canadian Mountains the saying is; if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes. Perhaps in Scotland you need to wait a wee (sorry please indulge me) bit longer.
And Jura and Bute and all along peninsula down the pike from Tarbart!! Oh tim Tim Helmer what fun we could have!!
