Regular Islay travellers will recognise the red seats of a Calmac ferry. On one crossing a good number of years ago I noticed this cute dog enjoying the crossing in the June sunshine.

A picture taken by my sister Imke on a ferry crossing back to the mainland after one of her Islay visits. Three Gannets in flight in some June sunshine.

As of writing this the SY Drum isn’t sailing any more, but it was back in 2010 it was still in action. Here it is anchored at Port Ellen in front of the old distillery and the maltings, seen from the arriving ferry.
