A regular view for over a decade now, the Calmac ferry MV Finlaggan berthing in Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay (although with the new ferries coming on line hopefully over the next 6-9 months this will probably be over soon). Picture taken mid June 2025 when I was picking up my sister Imke from the ferry.
