One of the best excursions from Islay, a visit to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool in the Gulf of Corryvreckan between Jura and Scarba. Some nice white water whirling while the whirlpool is running.

This is a fairly small wave in the Corryvreckan, at other times much bigger ones can be spotted. I still thought it was photogenic with the rocky shoreline of Scarba in the background. What do you think?
