With Venture West en route to the Corryvreckan (Excursion from Islay)

Admittedly not a direct excursion from Islay in this case as the trip starts from Crinan, but as it was linked to an Islay visit I still count it as an excursion from Islay. A view from a RIB from Venture West en route to the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool on a sunny April afternoon. Jura on the left, Scarba on the right.

A view from the Kilberry road in Argyll on a beautiful April morning. The view goes out across the Sound of Jura to the Isle of Islay (on the left) and the Isle of Jura (centre and right, with the Paps of Jura towering over the view)

MV James (temporary Jura ferry) in the Sound of Islay

A slightly unusual view in the Sound of Islay: When the usual Jura ferry was away in April 2023 for repairs/ maintenance the MV James took over to ferry vehicles and passengers across the Sound of Islay.
