A view from the journey to Islay, reminding you that you’re getting closer to your destination. The view is down the coastline on the south eastern side of West Loch Tarbert. I quite like the outcrop with the lone tree, not sure if it has a name and if it does what it is.

A memory from an April journey to Islay. The lighthouse on the pier at Ardrishaig, a gull in flight and the snow capped mountains in the north of Arran in the distance.

A popular stop on the journey to Islay, just a few miles from the ferry terminal in Kennacraig. An impression from a July evening a good number of years ago, looking across the harbour to the fishing boats, the ruin of the old castle on the hill above.
