An impression from an Islay walking week a number of years ago. The walk took us onto a hill above Rhuvaal lighthouse on a hazy April day. On a clear day Colonsay and even Mull would have been visible across the sea, on this day the haze spoilt the view.
A panoramic view over the southern entrance of the Sound of Islay from just above McArthur’s Head lighthouse. Jura on the other side of the sound with mainland Argyll visible in the distance on the right.
A view from the track out to Inver on Jura, looking out over the Sound of Islay. On Jura the small light at Carragh an t-Sruith. Behind it the much larger lighthouse at Rhuvaal on the northern tip of Islay. Colonsay on the horizon.
