A view from McArthur’s Head lighthouse at the southern entrance to the Sound of Islay. The Calmac ferry MV Hebridean Isles is passing north on her way from Kennacraig on the mainland to Port Askaig on Islay. Taken in spring a few years ago, note the daffodils on the left.
The Jura ferry and a former Islay ferry, the MV Isle of Arran, waiting for their next crossings in Port Askaig.
An impression from an Islay walking week a few years ago. On the homeward leg of a long walk around the north of Islay walkers approach the Sound of Islay with the dramatic backdrop of the Paps of Jura.
