Picture of a small bothy seen across a sound between two islandPossibly the best bothy on Islay, the Mountain Bothy Association one at An Cladach on the shore of the Sound of Islay. This view of it is from a walk along the shore on Jura, from Jura House Gardens to the ferry, a walk I’ve done with WalkIslay as well as with my sister Imke.
