Panoramic picture of a view over a sound between two islands from the grounds of a small lighthouseWhen McArthur’s Head lighthouse was still manned the lighthouse keepers certainly had some stunning views on a clear day. Towards the left the Sound of Islay stretches into the distance, Sgarbh Breac (364m) to the left of the lighthouse. Across the sound the south coast of the Isle of Jura with the Paps of Jura towards the centre of the picture.

Picture of a lighthouse in a remote locationA view of Rhuvaal lighthouse on the northern end of Islay, at the northern entrance to the Sound of Islay. The former lighthouse keeper cottage is now a private home, I believe the most remote home on Islay by some margin.
