A panoramic view over the southern entrance of the Sound of Islay from just above McArthur’s Head lighthouse. Jura on the other side of the sound with mainland Argyll visible in the distance on the right.
A follow up to the Port Askaig, Keills and Bowmore seen from Jura picture I posted recently. There someone asked where Caol Ila was. This view from the summit of Beinn an Oir, the highest of the Paps of Jura at 785m, shows both Port Askaig and Caol Ila at the Sound of Islay with Keills further back inland. I’m not entirely sure what the loch on the top left is, but I think it’s Loch nan Cadhan.
A view from the track out to Inver on Jura, looking out over the Sound of Islay. On Jura the small light at Carragh an t-Sruith. Behind it the much larger lighthouse at Rhuvaal on the northern tip of Islay. Colonsay on the horizon.
