A stunning June evening at the northern end of Islay’s neighbour Gigha, out for a walk around the Northern Loop. The view is north-west, looking over the northern end of Gigha with Port Mòr on the left, In the distance on the right the Isle of Jura with the famous Paps of Jura.

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.
