A view you’ll only get by going out on a boat. This one of some steep cliffs and a rocky sea shore on the west of Scarba is from a tour with Venture West to the Corryvreckan and around Scarba in April 2023. A great excursion from Islay or on a journey to/from Islay.

This is a fairly small wave in the Corryvreckan, at other times much bigger ones can be spotted. I still thought it was photogenic with the rocky shoreline of Scarba in the background. What do you think?
