A picture taken by my sister Imke, who had just arrived on this ferry. That’s me watching (and filming) the MV Finlaggan departing from Port Askaig on the Sound of Islay for another crossing to Kennacraig.

That’s my sister Imke arriving on Islay for her June 2025 visit. We were lucky and she was the first foot passenger to get off, so I could take this picture of her emerging from the MV Finlaggan.
