A view up the Sound of Islay from the ferry to Port Askaig. Bunnahabhain Bay on the left, although the distillery isn’t visible from here.

Port Askaig in 2003, Isle of Islay

A view on Islay that has changed quite dramatically since this picture was taken. The view is looking down on to Port Askaig from the road leading down. The car park behind the shop has since been converted to the waiting lanes for the ferry and a car park with the entrance on the right. The point from where this picture was taken would now probably be hanging somewhere in the air above the new carpark which was blasted into the hillside.

I think I took this picture from the ferry over to Jura, looking back to Islay. The sailing yacht was tacking down the Sound of Islay, not sure if it had at least the tide pushing it. In the background is Dunlossit House high above the sound.
