2024 upgrade works at Kennacraig for new Islay ferries

I’m not sure what exactly they were doing, but these works at Kennacraig in November 2024 were part of the upgrades in preparation for the two new Islay ferries scheduled to arrive in early 2025

A view from the journey to Islay, reminding you that you’re getting closer to your destination. The view is down the coastline on the south eastern side of West Loch Tarbert. I quite like the outcrop with the lone tree, not sure if it has a name and if it does what it is.
