A view from near the southern end of Claggain Bay, looking north over the bay and the Sound of Jura. You can just see bit of Jura peeking out behind the Islay coast at Ardtalla. Also just visible on the right the Argyll mainland on the other side of the Sound of Jura.

A panoramic view of the amazing pebble beach in Claggain Bay on a stunning April afternoon. The sun was right behind me, leading to my shadow being casted straight over the beach pointing out to sea.

Another view of An Fhaoileann just south of Claggain Bay from my visit in April 2026. Again seen from Rubha a’ Bhuic looking south. Which version do you prefer?
