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.
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.
A beautiful June evening at Claggain Bay in the south east of Islay, the last light of the gloaming providing a calm mild light. Beinn Bheigier (491m) visible on the left, mainland Argyll in the distance on the right.
