The Paps of Jura from Bunnahabhain pier, Isle of Islay

A beautiful view from Bunnahabhain pier in the north of Islay on a sunny April afternoon, looking across the Sound of Islay to Jura with the amazing Paps of Jura. I quite like the bright red painted mooring bollards, a nice touch of colour.

Spotted from the northern end of Gigha on a beautiful June evening, the MV Lord of the Isles on her way to Islay with the Paps of Jura as the backdrop (The LotI was the relief ferry while the MV Finlaggan was away for her annual overhaul in June 2023).
