A view of the Calmac ferry MV Hebridean Isles approaching Port Askaig along the Sound of Islay. In the distance McArthur’s Head lighthouse at the southern end of the sound.
A view from a ferry to Islay, the other ferry going the other way to Kennacraig. The other ferry in this case is the former (she’s now a relief boat) Islay ferry MV Isle of Arran. In the background the Paps of Jura with some interesting clouds draped over them.
A view back to Port Askaig from the shelter of the lounge of the departing Islay ferry. Leaving Islay is never easy, but on a day where it’s pouring it down it’s a tiny fraction easier than on a sunny day.
