Port Askaig and Caol Ila, Isle of Islay (seen from Jura)
Image
A follow up to the Port Askaig, Keills and Bowmore seen from Jura picture I posted recently. There someone asked where Caol Ila was. This view from the summit of Beinn an Oir, the highest of the Paps of Jura at 785m, shows both Port Askaig and Caol Ila at the Sound of Islay with Keills further back inland. I’m not entirely sure what the loch on the top left is, but I think it’s Loch nan Cadhan.
Two lighthouses at the Sound of Islay

A view from the track out to Inver on Jura, looking out over the Sound of Islay. On Jura the small light at Carragh an t-Sruith. Behind it the much larger lighthouse at Rhuvaal on the northern tip of Islay. Colonsay on the horizon.
