A view back from an April afternoon crossing to Islay on the MV Finlaggan. Despite the overcast skies the long distance visibility was very good, allowing a nice view of the hills of the Isle of Arran towering over the lower landscape of the Kintyre peninsula.

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 nice sunny view from Islay’s neighbour Jura, looking out over the Sound of Jura to Kintyre with Arran behind it. Taken during an Islay walking week walk across the hills to Loch Tarbert.
