A view from a ferry crossing to Islay on a very bright and sunny day. Islay is on the left, the entrance to the Sound of Islay just right of the Sun and Jura on the right. The Paps of Jura nicely visible on the right as well.
Islay’s best known sea stack is probably Soldier’s Rock on The Oa. Here’s a view looking towards the east with Laggan Bay in the background and the Paps of Jura in the distance.
Otters can be spotted on the shores around Islay and Jura quite regularly. This one my sister spotted during a walk along the Jura shore at the Sound of Islay. Picture courtesy of my sister Imke.
