In the middle distance the small lighthouse at Carragh an t-Sruith on Jura. Behind it the north of Colonsay and in the far distance the Isle of Mull with Ben More (the only island Munro outside of the Isle of Skye).

The raised beaches of the north coast start on the left. On the right the Sound of Islay stretching down south, Jura on the other side with the Paps of Jura towering over the Sound.
