A view from the Kilberry Road along Loch Caolisport, Eilean Tràighe off what I think is a tombolo. If you look closely you can make out one of the Islay ferries on the horizon.

Possibly my favourite boulder in the world, the big boulder near Druimdrishaig at Loch Caolisport on the Kilberry Road. One of the most photogenic boulders in the world I suspect. Most definitely worth a stop on a journey to/from Islay.

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?
