Seen from the departing Islay ferry, the small Jura MV Eilean Dhuira arriving at Feolin with the majestic Paps of Jura as the background. Beinn a’Chaolais in the front, Beinn an Oir on the left, Beinn Shiantaidh on the right.
The scene in the Sound of Islay as it presented itself when I left after my summer holiday in June 2019. Five different ships/boats in view, going about their business. From left to right: The Jura ferry MV Eilean Dhuira on her way to Port Askaig. The MV Scot Isles on her way south. A tender ferrying passengers from Port Askaig to the cruise ship (OK, you have to look closely for this one). The cruise ship MS Ocean Endeavour anchored in the sound (having anchored in Loch Indaal in June 2018). The offshore supply ship Olympic Intervention IV off Rhuvaal in the far north of Islay.
Seen from the Wednesday ferry from Islay to Colonsay in April 2019, the newly opened Ardnahoe Distillery high above the Sound of Islay.
