Normally it’s moored at the other end of Port Askaig, below the old station, but on this sunny June afternoon the Islay lifeboat was tied up at the main pier.

Once a frequent visitor to Islay and Jura, now the only ones remaining are used as cruise ships or are being lovingly restored by enthusiasts. Here a puffer is visiting Craighouse on Jura on a beautiful June afternoon. The Paps of Jura visible in the background towards the left of centre.
