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.

A view from Bowmore over a calm Loch Indaal on Islay to the three Paps of Jura. One of them, Beinn a’ Chaolais, in the shade of a cloud, the other two in some nice mild sunshine. If you look closely you can also spot the John Francis Campbell monument just in front of Beinn a’ Chaolais.
