A view from the south of Claggain Bay, looking across a rocky shore to the pebble beach. Beinn Bheigier (highest hill on Islay at 491m) towering over the scene in the background.

Rocks and stones in Claggain Bay, Isle of Islay

A beautiful April afternoon in the south east of Islay at Claggain Bay. A view along the stone/sand beach, looking north. Two larger rocks embedded in the sand covered with lots of stones.
My first sighting of the MV Isle of Islay

For an Islay visit in April 2026 I had hoped for a crossing with the brand new MV Isle of Islay, but it wasn’t meant to be. However, I was lucky enough to have two sightings of her. The first one (this one) was from Claggain Bay in the south east of Islay. I was out on the pebble beach in some beautiful late afternoon sunshine, taking pictures and filming video when I suddenly spotted the ferry on the horizon on its way from Port Askaig to Kennacraig. Quickly took a few pictures before she was gone.
