A view from near the southern end of Claggain Bay, looking north over the bay and the Sound of Jura. You can just see bit of Jura peeking out behind the Islay coast at Ardtalla. Also just visible on the right the Argyll mainland on the other side of the Sound of Jura.

A beautiful sunny April afternoon on the south coast of Islay, driving out to Claggain Bay I got this brilliant view of Ardbeg distillery with the Southern Skerries behind and the Argyll mainland on the horizon. Also notice the two lambs relaxing in the field in front of the distillery.

Possibly my favourite boulder in the world, the big boulder near Druimdrishaig at Loch Caolisport on the Kilberry Road. One of the most photogenic boulders in the world I suspect. Most definitely worth a stop on a journey to/from Islay.
