Picture of a sharp U bend in a road on the side of a steep hillA view long gone, the view down Port Askaig brae as it looked back in April 2003. The road has been widened, moved slightly and generally was made safer. Nevertheless, the view across the Sound of Islay to the Paps of Jura remains magnificent.
