An older view of Port Askaig at the Sound of Islay, taken from the MV Isle of Arran. The new road, car park and waiting area had been finished at this time in 2005, but the new Jura ferry and small boat harbour pier as well as the new ferry terminal building were still to come.
A follow up to the Port Askaig, Keills and Bowmore seen from Jura picture I posted recently. There someone asked where Caol Ila was. This view from the summit of Beinn an Oir, the highest of the Paps of Jura at 785m, shows both Port Askaig and Caol Ila at the Sound of Islay with Keills further back inland. I’m not entirely sure what the loch on the top left is, but I think it’s Loch nan Cadhan.
A view over to Islay from about half way up Beinn a’Chaolais, one of the three Paps of Jura. Port Askaig with the ferry terminal at the Sound of Islay below. Keills on the right in the middle distance and Bowmore on the left in the far distance. A part of the Rhinns of Islay in the haze on the right.
