A beautiful view from the Islay ferry arriving for Port Askaig. The Paps of Jura (left to right: Beinn an Oir, Beinn a’Chalois, Beinn Shiantaidh) in some mild evening light. Feolin with the Jura ferry slip on the shore below.
One of the more unusual Islay and Jura pictures I’ve ever posted here. Back in 2004 I visited the Isle of Arran and climbed Goatfell on what luckily turned out to be the clearest day of my stay. This is the view west from the summit of Goatfell, in the distance you can see both Islay and Jura. The Oa on the far left, the hills in the south east of Islay left of centre and the entrance to the Sound of Islay right of centre. The easily recognisable Paps of Jura and some of the other hills on Jura on the right.
A view from near the twin beaches at Eilean Garbh on the Isle of Gigha in July 2008, Jura with the Paps of Jura in the distance. The Islay ferry MV Isle of Arran on her way to Kennacraig on the right.
