If you have the time and patience a drive along the Kilberry road can be rewarding with some great views across the Sound of Jura to Islay, Jura and Gigha. This view mainly takes in Islay, with a smidgen of Jura on the right. Below us also some Highland cattle, possibly enjoying the nice view just like us?
