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.
Admittedly this could be somewhere out on the open sea, you just have to believe me it’s really in the north of the Sound of Islay. Not visible in the picture are Islay on the left and Jura on the right. It’s the Fleur de Lampaul approaching in the distance, seen from Port Askaig.
A view from Port Askaig down the Sound of Islay. Am Fraoch Eilean just off Jura on the left, McArthur’s Head lighthouse on Islay on the right.
