A panoramic view of some of the flower beds in Jura House Gardens on Islay’s neighbour the Isle of Jura. The garden is a walled garden, providing protection against the harsh climate and allowing for colourful lush flowers. This panorama is from a visit in 2010, as unfortunately the gardens have since been closed to the public.
A view of the Calmac ferry MV Hebridean Isles approaching Port Askaig along the Sound of Islay. In the distance McArthur’s Head lighthouse at the southern end of the sound.
A view from a ferry to Islay, the other ferry going the other way to Kennacraig. The other ferry in this case is the former (she’s now a relief boat) Islay ferry MV Isle of Arran. In the background the Paps of Jura with some interesting clouds draped over them.
