A panoramic view of Port Askaig at the Sound of Islay, seen from the small pier of the fishing harbour. The lifeboat at its moorings on the left. The MV Isle of Arran at the main pier (although she left soon after to make space for the arriving MV Hebridean Isles) and the MV Eilean Dhiura at the small pier. The Paps of Jura in the distance on the right.

One of the many caves on Islay, the cave at the foot of the cliffs below McArthur’s Head lighthouse, at the southern entrance to the Sound of Islay. I can’t remember the details, but I have a vague memory of a story of it once being used by whisky smugglers. Which might be true. Or not.
