I admit, you have to know they are there. But they are. If you look closely you can just make out some dots towards the left hand side of the scree field just below the summit plateau. These are the walkers who went to the summit of Beinn a’Chaolais during the Islay walking week 2014. I took the picture from around 6 miles away, from the shore of the Sound of Islay south of Port Askaig where I was with another walk.
A view south west from somewhere in the hills near Lagg on Islay’s neighbour Jura. On the right the Paps of Jura, on the left in the far distance Beinn Bheigier on Islay.
Craighouse is the main settlement on Islay’s neighbour Jura. This view is from the summit of one of the Paps of Jura, Beinn Shiantaidh. While parts are hidden by the lower hills below you can the roofs of the distillery and the hotel on the right hand side. Clearly visible the long new pier in the centre of the picture. I believe the houses slightly inland towards the bottom left of the picture are in Keils.
