Nice old boat at Crinan (Journey to Islay)

The Crinan canal is always a nice stop on a journey to Islay, especially if there’s enough time to go all the way to Crinan. Here’s a nice old wooden boat moored off Crinan on a July late afternoon. I’m not entirely sure, but I think those are Jura (on the left) and Scarba (on the right) in the distance, with the Gulf of Corryvreckan in between.

A beautiful view of one of Islay’s more remote beaches at Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis, found in the far north of the island near Rhuvaal. Jura just visible in the distance.

A memory from the Islay walking week in April 2014, the walkers taking a short break to enjoy the view to the Sound of Islay and the Paps of Jura.
