Picture of a view along a sound, a lifeboat anchored and a small fishing boat cruisingA view north along the Sound of Islay from the ferry leaving Port Askaig. A small fishing boat is returning to Port Askaig while a lifeboat is moored at Caol Ila. If memory serves me right this wasn’t the Islay lifeboat, but another visiting lifeboat. In the background Sgarbh Breac (364m), the highest hill in the north of Islay.
