The start to a beautiful day on Islay and Jura in mid April, looking East towards the Paps of Jura from the top of the hill at Kilchoman. I was on my way to Port Askaig to catch the first morning ferry to Jura for a walk to the Corryvreckan whirlpool.
A beautiful view from the Islay ferry arriving for Port Askaig. The Paps of Jura (left to right: Beinn an Oir, Beinn a’Chalois, Beinn Shiantaidh) in some mild evening light. Feolin with the Jura ferry slip on the shore below.
One of the more unusual Islay and Jura pictures I’ve ever posted here. Back in 2004 I visited the Isle of Arran and climbed Goatfell on what luckily turned out to be the clearest day of my stay. This is the view west from the summit of Goatfell, in the distance you can see both Islay and Jura. The Oa on the far left, the hills in the south east of Islay left of centre and the entrance to the Sound of Islay right of centre. The easily recognisable Paps of Jura and some of the other hills on Jura on the right.
