A milestone on the way to the Corryvreckan is Kinuachdrachd, where the ‘road’ ends (it’s only a track and not open to the public from 5 miles before) and the last house on Jura is located. The route the Islay walking week walkers followed continues towards the left, you can just see some more walkers behind the branches of the trees.
Two visitors to the Corryvreckan whirlpool, spotted from the far northern end of Jura in April 2015. On the right the German Schnellboot (fast attack craft) P6122 ‘Puma’, the third of three boats of this class passing through that afternoon. On the left the much smaller RIB from Venture West visiting the Corryvreckan from Crinan.
During the Islay walking week in April 2015 we walked to the far north of Islay’s neighbour Jura to visit the Gulf of Corryvreckan with the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool. Here some of the walkers have arrived at our viewpoint, I estimate about 100-150 metres above the water. Amazing views were enjoyed from here, over to the whirlpool (not in the picture, it’s further to the left), to Scarba (on the left) and over to the mainland (including to Ben Cruachan, just right of centre).
