A closer look at the huge boulder on the shore along the Kilberry Road. The famous Paps of Jura (and Corra Bheinn) in the distance across Loch Caolisport and the Sound of Jura. A great stop on a clear sunny day on the detour along the Kilberry Road during a drive to or from Islay.

June sunset at the Ardfernal Hill trig point panorama, Isle of Jura

A beautiful June evening on the east coast of Jura, on the top of Ardfernal Hill (85m) looking west. The Bay of Small Isles with Craighouse in the distance on the left. Towards the right the Paps of Jura with the sun setting behind Beinn an Oir and Beinn Shiantaidh, the two highest Paps. Not visible the thousands and thousands of midges attacking me while taking the pictures for the panorama…

A panoramic view from the flank of Corra Bheinn, on the way to the summit (right). Ahead of us is Beinn Shiantaidh, one of the Paps of Jura. Behind it to the right also Beinn an Oir, the highest of the the three Paps.
