Picture of deer on a hillside, a large mountain in the backgroundAt first glance this might not look like on Islay, but this is near Sgarbh Breac on Islay, where the deer are. The Sound of Islay is hiding behind the hill crest, in the background is Beinn a’Chaolais on Jura.

While compared to neighbouring Jura the numbers are small there are still significant herds of deer on Islay. This herd of about 20 animals was at Storakaig in the east of Islay.
