Walker’s rest at the Paps of Jura panorama, Isle of Jura

An Islay walking week excursion to Islay’s neighbour Jura back in 2007, here the walkers are taking a break near Imir an Aonaich between Beinn an Oir (785m, behind the walkers on the right) and Beinn Shaintaidh (not in the picture, to the right). Beinn a’ Chaolais (733m) in the centre distance.

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.
