A lot has changed in this view since this picture was taken in 2004. The project to completely reshape the whole waiting area had only just begun, huge amounts of rocks and earth were still going to be excavated behind the red and white barrier. Probably the biggest construction project on Islay ever.
A view from the Islay ferry arriving in Port Askaig in June 2014. On the left the RNLI lifeboat ready for its next call out, on the right the Jura ferry waiting for passengers. The new RNLI station in the background on the right.
A picture from the day I climbed two of the Paps of Jura a few years ago. I took the first ferry in the morning from Islay to Jura to have as much time as possible. While it was a bit cloudy at first it did clear up nicely later in the day for some great views. My destination can be seen just left of centre in the distance.
