A view from a journey to Islay in April 2016, looking down Loch Fyne towards the Isle of Arran with snow on the hilltops. On the right the lighthouse on Ardrishaig Pier, near the entrance to the Crinan Canal.
A very nice stop on the journey to Islay is the Crinan Canal. Here we are overlooking a lock at the Loch Fyne end of the canal in Ardrishaig. In the far distance you can just make out the Isle of Arran.
One of the more unusual Islay and Jura pictures I’ve ever posted here. Back in 2004 I visited the Isle of Arran and climbed Goatfell on what luckily turned out to be the clearest day of my stay. This is the view west from the summit of Goatfell, in the distance you can see both Islay and Jura. The Oa on the far left, the hills in the south east of Islay left of centre and the entrance to the Sound of Islay right of centre. The easily recognisable Paps of Jura and some of the other hills on Jura on the right.
