Not sure from where exactly I took this picture, but I think it was about 1-2 miles from Bunnahabhain distillery from the single track road along the Sound of Islay. Obviously the famous Paps of Jura on the other side, from left to right Beinn an Oir, Beinn Shiantaidh and Beinn a’ Chaolais.

A slightly unusual view in the Sound of Islay: When the usual Jura ferry was away in April 2023 for repairs/ maintenance the MV James took over to ferry vehicles and passengers across the Sound of Islay.
