If you have the time and patience a drive along the Kilberry road can be rewarding with some great views across the Sound of Jura to Islay, Jura and Gigha. This view mainly takes in Islay, with a smidgen of Jura on the right. Below us also some Highland cattle, possibly enjoying the nice view just like us?
A view north from an Islay ferry travelling up the Sound of Islay to Port Askaig: Islay with Rhuvaal lighthouse on the left, Jura with Carragh an t-Sruith lighthouse on the right. Colonsay visible in the haze in the distance. In the centre you can just make out the MV James crossing between Islay and Jura
On my journey to Islay in April 2024 the weather was very nice and I had a bit of time left, so I decided to take the detour via the B8024 Kilberry road. It’s a winding single track road so obviously much slower than the main A83 (not to forget much longer). But on a nice day like I had you’re rewarded with some nice views like this, looking past some fresh spring green across the Sound of Jura to Islay.
