A regular view for over a decade now, the Calmac ferry MV Finlaggan berthing in Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay (although with the new ferries coming on line hopefully over the next 6-9 months this will probably be over soon). Picture taken mid June 2025 when I was picking up my sister Imke from the ferry.

Cow on the move at Eorrabus farm, Isle of Islay

Out on a walk around Loch Skerrols and Brigdend Woods we were walking along a track past a field near Eorrabus. Quite a few cows in the field got curious about us passing and started to run and follow us. This one was running past during a short lull, so I managed to catch it on its own with the famous Paps of Jura in the background.
