A view of Barnhill in the far north east of Jura, where George Orwell wrote his famous book ‘1984’. The Sound of Jura with the mainland on the other side in the background. Taken on a beautiful April afternoon on the return from a walk to the Gulf of Corryvreckan to the see the famous whirlpool where Orwell and his son ran into trouble.
The MV Eilean Dhiura crossing from Islay to Jura on a very clear April afternoon in 2015. 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).
A panoramic view of the northern end of Islay, Rhuvaal lighthouse in the centre. 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. Colonsay also just visible in the distance towards the left.
