A view you’ll only get by going out on a boat. This one of some steep cliffs and a rocky sea shore on the west of Scarba is from a tour with Venture West to the Corryvreckan and around Scarba in April 2023. A great excursion from Islay or on a journey to/from Islay.

An evening walk along the Crinan Canal in June 2023. The view is (north-)west along the Crinan Canal, looking in the direction of Crinan. In front of us lock 11 (I think) at the Dunardry locks. The water in the distance on the right is the River Add, A great stopover on a journey to/from Islay.
