An impression from an Islay walking week a number of years ago. The walk took us onto a hill above Rhuvaal lighthouse on a hazy April day. On a clear day Colonsay and even Mull would have been visible across the sea, on this day the haze spoilt the view.
A view from the track out to Inver on Jura, looking out over the Sound of Islay. On Jura the small light at Carragh an t-Sruith. Behind it the much larger lighthouse at Rhuvaal on the northern tip of Islay. Colonsay on the horizon.
A panoramic view over the north east of Islay from Beinn an Oir, at 785m the highest of the Paps of Jura. Beinn a’Chaolais (733m) on the left, Port Askaig and Caol Ila to the right of it. The Sound of Islay stretches all the way through the view with Rhuvaal and the lighthouse on the right.
