Islay, Jura and a huge boulder…

A view to Islay (towards the left) and Jura (towards the right, obviously, with the Paps of Jura easily identifiable) across Loch Caolisport from the mainland. Taken near Druimdrishaig on a beautiful drive on the “Kilberry road” in April 2023

One of the best excursions from Islay is a visit to the Corryvreckan whirlpool between Jura and Scarba. Here a gull is happily floating around on the water in the whirlpool, Scarba visible in the background.

This is from a visit with Venture West in April 2023.
