Picture of a small harbour with a new road being built into the hill behind itPort Askaig changed dramatically in the last decade with a new road, waiting area and car park blasted into the rocks behind the ferry terminal. This picture was taken from the Islay ferry while the work was under way in 2004 to carve the space into the rocks.

A view from the ferry travelling up the Sound of Islay towards Colonsay, just as Bunnahabhain distillery comes into view. On the left the remains of the wreck of the Wyre Majestic, slowly rusting away in the harsh conditions.

A fairly old picture from an Islay walking week many years ago, I think 2004 or so. We walked from Dunlossit via Dun Bhoraraic to the Sound of Islay and out to An Cladach.
