A beautiful April late afternoon in the south east of Islay at Claggain Bay. The view goes out over the Sound of Jura to the mainland at Kintyre. Behind Kintyre the hills of the Isle of Arran.

A contrasting view from an Islay ferry crossing to Kennacraig: Behind the darker hills of Kintyre in the shade some sunlit hills of the Isle of Arran in the distance.

Out on Kilnaughton beach for a lunchtime walk in late November 2025. The centre of Port Ellen with the ferry pier and small boats port nicely visible across the bay. If you look closely you can just spot the tops of the hills on Arran in the far distance.
