A view from the ferry approaching Port Askaig in the Sound of Islay on an April evening. A snow capped Ben More on Mull in the distance. In the foreground Carragh an t-Sruith lighthouse on Islay’s neighbour Jura.
One of the best excursions from Islay is a visit to the Corryvreckan whirlpool between Jura and Scarba. Here a gull is happily floating around on the water in the whirlpool, Scarba visible in the background.
This is from a visit with Venture West in April 2023.
A beautiful November morning on the Rhinns of Islay, looking past the Loch Indaal lighthouse near Port Charlotte across the loch to the Paps of Jura in the distance.
