Guarding the southern end of the Sound of Islay, McArthur’s Head lighthouse flashing its light in the gloaming of an April evening. May be not the clearest picture, but I’m quite pleased that I managed to capture it at all, the light flashing, handheld from the moving ferry.
Taken from the Islay ferry in April 2015, a view of McArthur’s Head lighthouse and the coast towards Ardtalla.
When McArthur’s Head lighthouse was still manned the lighthouse keepers certainly had some stunning views on a clear day. Towards the left the Sound of Islay stretches into the distance, Sgarbh Breac (364m) to the left of the lighthouse. Across the sound the south coast of the Isle of Jura with the Paps of Jura towards the centre of the picture.
