An interesting view on Islay from near Foreland. There are very low clouds over the Sound of Islay (sound not visible from here), but above them it’s clear. The Paps of Jura are sticking out from the clouds, bathed in the evening sunshine.
The title might be slight exaggeration, but at low tide you can indeed walk across at least a part of Loch Indaal. This is from an Islay walking week a few years ago. We started at the Gaelic College just outside of Bowmore and walked across to where the River Sorn runs into the loch at Bridgend. Also note the (hazy) Paps of Jura on the right.
A view from a ferry crossing to Islay on a very bright and sunny day. Islay is on the left, the entrance to the Sound of Islay just right of the Sun and Jura on the right. The Paps of Jura nicely visible on the right as well.
