A view from near the southern end of Claggain Bay, looking north over the bay and the Sound of Jura. You can just see bit of Jura peeking out behind the Islay coast at Ardtalla. Also just visible on the right the Argyll mainland on the other side of the Sound of Jura.

Possibly my favourite boulder in the world, the big boulder near Druimdrishaig at Loch Caolisport on the Kilberry Road. One of the most photogenic boulders in the world I suspect. Most definitely worth a stop on a journey to/from Islay.

If you have the time and patience a drive along the Kilberry road can be rewarding with some great views across the Sound of Jura to Islay, Jura and Gigha. This view mainly takes in Islay, with a smidgen of Jura on the right. Below us also some Highland cattle, possibly enjoying the nice view just like us?
