A view from the southern tip of the Rhinns of Islay over the twin villages of Portnahaven (below) and Port Wemyss (in the distance on the left). On the right Orsay with the Rhinns of Islay lighthouse.
Jura and Mull from the Sound of Islay

A view north from the ferry leaving Port Askaig on Islay. The lighthouse is at Carragh an t-Sruith on Jura with the Isle of Mull in the distance. The big mountain is Ben More on Mull, the only island Munro outside the Isle of Skye.
Admittedly this is not a view you’ll get with the bare eye, this was taken with my 80-400mm lens fully extended to 400mm.
