A closer look at the huge boulder on the shore along the Kilberry Road. The famous Paps of Jura (and Corra Bheinn) in the distance across Loch Caolisport and the Sound of Jura. A great stop on a clear sunny day on the detour along the Kilberry Road during a drive to or from Islay.

I think I took this picture from Creag Bhàn, the highest hill on Gigha. The view is across the Sound of Jura to the Paps of Jura with the Islay ferry MV Isle of Arran en route from Port Askaig to Kennacraig on the mainland. How tiny the ferry looks below the towering mountains.
