Boulders near Loch Tarbert, Isle of Jura

A memory from an Islay walking week walk across Jura, from Gatehouse to Loch Tarbert and back. This view takes in some boulders (with a small reservoir of water below them) towards the western side of Jura, Loch Tarbert just visible in the background.

A memory from the Islay walking week in 2005 and an excursion to Jura on a beautiful sunny April day. We walked across Jura from east to west, this view is from near our destination, Loch Tarbert. One of the Paps of Jura (I think Beinn Shiantaidh) just visible in the distance on the left. Loch Tarbert on the right, just appearing behind the hills.

I’m not sure if I took this picture of Loch Tarbert on Islay’s neighbour Jura before or after the other version I shared earlier. Either way, I like both versions, taken on a day trip to Jura in November a couple of years ago.
