A moody November morning at the Sound of Islay, waiting on the ferry to depart for a day out in Jura. The Islay lifeboat (in the shade on the right) ready for its next callout.

A departure from Islay a while ago. Low clouds hanging over the Sound of Islay, giving it an almost mystical atmosphere. Not much too see of McArthur’s Head with the lighthouse and the hills behind though….

Wet return to Bunnahabhain, Isle of Islay

A memory from an Islay walking week a few years back. After a rainy wet walk to Rhuvaal lighthouse and a rainy wet lunch at the boathouse the walkers are making their way back along a soggy track to Bunnahabhain.
