A view from the Islay ferry arriving in Port Askaig in June 2014. On the left the RNLI lifeboat ready for its next call out, on the right the Jura ferry waiting for passengers. The new RNLI station in the background on the right.
A view of the Calmac ferry MV Hebridean Isles approaching Port Askaig along the Sound of Islay. In the distance McArthur’s Head lighthouse at the southern end of the sound.
A view back to Port Askaig from the shelter of the lounge of the departing Islay ferry. Leaving Islay is never easy, but on a day where it’s pouring it down it’s a tiny fraction easier than on a sunny day.
