Seen from the departing Islay ferry, the small Jura MV Eilean Dhuira arriving at Feolin with the majestic Paps of Jura as the background. Beinn a’Chaolais in the front, Beinn an Oir on the left, Beinn Shiantaidh on the right.

On a trip from Craighouse to the Corryvreckan we took a short detour into Lowlandman’s Bay, this picture was taken when we were just leaving. In the distance the three Paps of Jura towering over the view with Corra Bheinn (on the right) completing the picture. The building near the shore on the other side of the bay is the Sound of Jura studio.

Admittedly not a view you’d get with the bare eye, I used a fairly strong telephoto lens for this picture: The Paps of Jura (Beinn an Oir, Beinn a’Chaolais, Beinn Shiantaid) seen across Loch Indaal from Bowmore pier on a June afternoon.
