Islay from the Kilberry road in April 2024

On my journey to Islay in April 2024 the weather was very nice and I had a bit of time left, so I decided to take the detour via the B8024 Kilberry road. It’s a winding single track road so obviously much slower than the main A83 (not to forget much longer). But on a nice day like I had you’re rewarded with some nice views like this, looking past some fresh spring green across the Sound of Jura to Islay.

A view on the west coast of Islay on a mostly cloudy October day. Waves are rolling into Saligo Bay swirling around the rocks in the beach, just as some sunrays break through the grey clouds.
