Watched on a late June early morning in Port Ellen after dropping off my sister at the early morning ferry, a small fishing boat leaving for a fresh catch, cruising through the calm seas. Kintyre visible on the horizon.

A view back to Port Ellen around Loch Leodamais from a walk across the Ard to the Swan’s Pool in June 2025. Port Ellen marina and the pier with the grain silo in the centre. The maltings just visible in the distance towards the right.

That’s my sister Imke arriving on Islay for her June 2025 visit. We were lucky and she was the first foot passenger to get off, so I could take this picture of her emerging from the MV Finlaggan.
