A view from the arriving Islay ferry, the well known Port Ellen buoy right in front of us. On the shore the old Port Ellen distillery and maltings. On the right a motorboat we spotted earlier.
It almost looks like it’s moving under its own steam, but in reality this is of course the very strong tidal current in the Sound of Islay racing past the Black Rocks buoy. Seen from the Islay ferry on a crossing to Port Askaig.
A view across the old Kilnaughton cemetery and chapel over to Carraig Fhada lighthouse on a sunny April day on Islay. Kintyre just visible in the distance.
