A regular view for over a decade now, the Calmac ferry MV Finlaggan berthing in Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay (although with the new ferries coming on line hopefully over the next 6-9 months this will probably be over soon). Picture taken mid June 2025 when I was picking up my sister Imke from the ferry.

Trying to get a different view of the MV Finlaggan arriving in Port Askaig all I managed to find was a small gap in the trees. Not perfect, but I’ll take it.

A picture taken by my sister Imke, who had just arrived on this ferry. That’s me watching (and filming) the MV Finlaggan departing from Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay for another crossing to Kennacraig.
