A closer look at the huge boulder on the shore along the Kilberry Road. The famous Paps of Jura (and Corra Bheinn) in the distance across Loch Caolisport and the Sound of Jura. A great stop on a clear sunny day on the detour along the Kilberry Road during a drive to or from Islay.

Island in Loch a’ Bharain (Excursion from Islay)

A nice stop on a journey to or from Islay, Loch a’ Bharain just off the Crinan Canal in Argyll. I’m not sure if it has a name and if yes what it is, but there is a beautiful tree covered small island at the northern side of the loch. Great view in the mild April evening sunshine

A view back from an April afternoon crossing to Islay on the MV Finlaggan. Despite the overcast skies the long distance visibility was very good, allowing a nice view of the hills of the Isle of Arran towering over the lower landscape of the Kintyre peninsula.
