Bunnahabhain view from the veranda, Isle of Islay

A panoramic view from the veranda of the Bunnahabhain distillery visitor centre over the bay and the Sound of Islay. On a clearer day you see Colonsay and Mull in the far distance, during this visit in April it was too hazy to see them. Still, a nice view of the Paps of Jura on the right.

A memory from a walk to the far north of Islay with my sister Imke in June 2013. We had walked from Bunnahabbhain along the Sound of Islay to Rhuvaal lighthouse. From the lighthouse we followed the coast west to Bàgh an Dà Dhoruis. After lunch on the beach we continued towards the raised beaches before turning south east and returning to Bunnahabhain over the low hills west of Sgarbh Breac (where I took this picture of my sister enjoying the views over the Sound of Islay and Jura with the Paps of Jura)
