Seen from Port Askaig (I had to crop this picture quite a bit….), the Islay ferry MV Finlaggan entering the Sound of Islay below McArthur’s Head lighthouse. Kintyre also visible in the far distance on a sunny and bright April afternoon.

A crossing to Islay on the MV Finlaggan in April 2026. Jura on the right, Islay ahead in the bright low evening sun. The ferry powering through the waves, sending spray up into the air.
