A harbour scene from Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay. Fishermen are sorting their catch (crabs and lobsters) before taking it on land.

Two boats in the Sound of Islay

A view north along the Sound of Islay from the ferry leaving Port Askaig. A small fishing boat is returning to Port Askaig while a lifeboat is moored at Caol Ila. If memory serves me right this wasn’t the Islay lifeboat, but another visiting lifeboat. In the background Sgarbh Breac (364m), the highest hill in the north of Islay.
The Paps of Jura from Keills, Isle of Islay

A view along the A846 through the village of Keills, it looks like it leads straight to the Paps of Jura. Of course there’s the minor obstacle of the Sound of Islay in the way (Port Askaig is just behind the trees in the distance), but I still like the thought.
