A view from the Kilberry road in Argyll on a beautiful April morning. The view goes out across the Sound of Jura to the Isle of Islay (on the left) and the Isle of Jura (centre and right, with the Paps of Jura towering over the view)

A slightly unusual view in the Sound of Islay: When the usual Jura ferry was away in April 2023 for repairs/ maintenance the MV James took over to ferry vehicles and passengers across the Sound of Islay.

A view from Saligo across Islay to the Paps of Jura on an April evening not long before sunset. Low clouds swirling around the Paps (not sure if this is an inversion?) with Carnduncan in the foreground on the right.
