I think I took this picture from Creag Bhàn, the highest hill on Gigha. The view is across the Sound of Jura to the Paps of Jura with the Islay ferry MV Isle of Arran en route from Port Askaig to Kennacraig on the mainland. How tiny the ferry looks below the towering mountains.

A view from the path to the Twin Beaches on a stunning June afternoon. In the foreground Eilean Garbh just off Gigha, in the distance the famous Paps of Jura.
