If you have the time and patience a drive along the Kilberry road can be rewarding with some great views across the Sound of Jura to Islay, Jura and Gigha. This view mainly takes in Islay, with a smidgen of Jura on the right. Below us also some Highland cattle, possibly enjoying the nice view just like us?
On my journey to Islay in April 2024 the weather was very nice and I had a bit of time left, so I decided to take the detour via the B8024 Kilberry road. It’s a winding single track road so obviously much slower than the main A83 (not to forget much longer). But on a nice day like I had you’re rewarded with some nice views like this, looking past some fresh spring green across the Sound of Jura to Islay.
A short detour from a drive on the Kilberry Road takes you to Ardpatrick on the shore of West Loch Tarbert. I don’t know anything about this stone, if it’s an old standing stone of some sort or a much more recent addition, maybe some memorial stone? I couldn’t find anything online, if you know please let me and others know in the comments.
