Guarding the southern end of the Sound of Islay, McArthur’s Head lighthouse flashing its light in the gloaming of an April evening. May be not the clearest picture, but I’m quite pleased that I managed to capture it at all, the light flashing, handheld from the moving ferry.
It was a pretty miserable day, yet we still walked out to Rhuvaal lighthouse during the Islay walking week in April 2015. Despite the horrible conditions it turned out to be a very enjoyable walk.
A view from the ferry in the Sound of Islay looking north. In the foreground on the right is Jura with the lighthouse at Carragh an t-Sruith. In the middle distance Colonsay, behind it in the far distance Mull with the Munro Ben More towering over the view.
