On the last day of the Islay walking week 2013 we went on a long anticipated excursion to neighbouring Jura: In the 11th year of Walk Islay we were finally going to conquer one of the Paps of Jura, Beinn a’Chaolais (733m). These are some of the walkers (20 made it to the top) at the summit in perfect weather. In the background Beinn an Oir (left, 785m) and Beinn Shiantaidh (right, 757m).
A view across the Sound of Islay from the Isle of Jura, the Calmac ferry Hebridean Isles passing on her weekly Wednesday journey to Colonsay. Colonsay visible in the distance behind Rhuvaal lighthouse.
I think I took this picture from the ferry over to Jura, looking back to Islay. The sailing yacht was tacking down the Sound of Islay, not sure if it had at least the tide pushing it. In the background is Dunlossit House high above the sound.
