A panoramic view over Port Ellen from the MV Finlaggan with boarding almost completed, just the Islay Crabs lorry still to be loaded. Taken on a stormy November 2024 morning.

A view from the MV Finlaggan on a stormy crossing from Port Ellen to Kennacraig in November 2024. I’m not entirely sure which cliffs are in the foreground, but I think it’s Cam Sgeir centre right with An Sgonnag behind on the left. Then Texa and behind it Islay in the distance.

A nice view of McArthur’s Head lighthouse from an Islay ferry travelling to Port Askaig, helped by the tele lens bringing it much closer. I quite like the good view of the stairs leading from the lighthouse to the pier at the shore, unfortunately I can’t remember how many steps there are (I’ve climbed it once or twice, not sure)
