A memory from the Islay walking week in 2005 and an excursion to Jura on a beautiful sunny April day. We walked across Jura from east to west, this view is from near our destination, Loch Tarbert. One of the Paps of Jura (I think Beinn Shiantaidh) just visible in the distance on the left. Loch Tarbert on the right, just appearing behind the hills.
An Islay walking week excursion to Islay’s neighbour Jura back in 2007, here the walkers are taking a break near Imir an Aonaich between Beinn an Oir (785m, behind the walkers on the right) and Beinn Shaintaidh (not in the picture, to the right). Beinn a’ Chaolais (733m) in the centre distance.
A panoramic view of Port Askaig at the Sound of Islay, seen from the small pier of the fishing harbour. The lifeboat at its moorings on the left. The MV Isle of Arran at the main pier (although she left soon after to make space for the arriving MV Hebridean Isles) and the MV Eilean Dhiura at the small pier. The Paps of Jura in the distance on the right.
