A view from an Islay ferry traveling from Port Ellen to Kennacraig on a blustery and rainy October day. Ardbeg distillery just visible through the rain and failing October afternoon light.

Blink and you’ve missed it. Fighter jets are rather fast, only just managed to catch this one in a picture as it shot over Islay, turning over Machir Bay. This was in October (2011), considering all the Geese and Swans arriving around that time I’m not sure it’s such a good idea to practice flying low over Islay at that time?

A memory from a journey to Islay back in October 2010. Waiting for the ferry at Kennacraig I got treated to some beautiful late afternoon light as sunset was approaching.
