Boulders near Loch Tarbert, Isle of Jura

A memory from an Islay walking week walk across Jura, from Gatehouse to Loch Tarbert and back. This view takes in some boulders (with a small reservoir of water below them) towards the western side of Jura, Loch Tarbert just visible in the background.

A sunny but hazy April afternoon on Islay’s neighbour Jura. The view is from the hills somewhere near Lagg, looking out over the Sound of Jura. Towards the left is Skervuile lighthouse, behind it slightly to the right a fishing boat. In the distance we first see the Isle of Gigha with Kintyre behind it in the haze.

A beautiful April day on Islay’s neighbour Jura. The view is from the only road on Jura, climbing up the hill above Lagg. Below is Lagg Bay with the old jetty on the other side. Kintyre visible in the distance.
