A sunny but hazy April afternoon on Islay’s neighbour Jura. The view is from the hills somewhere near Lagg, looking out over the Sound of Jura. Towards the left is Skervuile lighthouse, behind it slightly to the right a fishing boat. In the distance we first see the Isle of Gigha with Kintyre behind it in the haze.

A view from the Islay ferry on the way to Kennacraig on the mainland on a beautiful September afternoon in 2021. Gigha in the distance on the left. Some of the calmest seas I can remember ever seeing.
