Spotted from the pier in Port Askaig, a small fishing boat passing while the (temporary) Jura ferry MV James is arriving from Feolin.

Probably one of the best driving views on Islay, the view from Port Askaig Brae. Especially on a clear sunny day with the amazing views of two of the Paps of Jura (the third is hiding behind them), Beinn a’ Chaolais and Beinn an Oir. The Sound of Islay between Islay and Jura just below the bend.
