A slightly older picture from a brilliant summer day on Islay. The MV Isle of Arran, then regular ferry, now relief boat, is waiting at the linkspan in Port Askaig. The Paps of Jura on the right.
A view from the ferry travelling up the Sound of Islay approaching Port Askaig. On the left the small lighthouse at Carraig Mhòr. Behind it Dunlossit House and on the right the MV Isle of Arran berthed in Port Askaig.
A slightly older picture of Port Ellen, the pier has since been rebuilt and upgraded, also the MV Isle of Arran is not a regular on the Islay route any more. Also the Islay Hotel has been completed since (if you look closely you can see a building under construction without a roof still, between the masts of the sailing yachts). The Port Ellen Maltings and distillery warehouses in the distance just left of centre.
