Northern Sound of Islay from Beinn Dubh

A view from the slopes of Beinn Dubh, looking north over the Sound of Islay. Jura on the right. In the distance on the Islay shore you can just make out the small lighthouse at Carraig Mhòr. On the right the sailing yacht under spinnaker I had seen below the Paps earlier.

Spotted next to the ferry ramp at Feolin Ferry on Jura, an Oystercatcher on the pebble shore. In the background on the other side of the Sound of Islay the small lighthouse at Carraig Mhòr.
