Seen from Port Askaig (I had to crop this picture quite a bit….), the Islay ferry MV Finlaggan entering the Sound of Islay below McArthur’s Head lighthouse. Kintyre also visible in the far distance on a sunny and bright April afternoon.

A view from the road to Bunnahabhain, high above the Sound of Islay. On the left the northern tip of Islay with Rhuvaal lighthouse just visible behind the hills. In the background Colonsay visible in the haze (possibly also Oronsay and Mull, not entirely sure)
