The counterpart to the view west from Creag Bhàn panorama, the view east to Kintyre. The entrance to West Loch Tarbert (home to Kennacraig with the Islay ferry terminal) on the left. The Mull of Kintyre on the right. Bottom right shows a view indicator (although you won’t be able to read it in this picture), the trig point also on the right.

A view from the journey to Islay, reminding you that you’re getting closer to your destination. The view is down the coastline on the south eastern side of West Loch Tarbert. I quite like the outcrop with the lone tree, not sure if it has a name and if it does what it is.

A memory from a journey to Islay in November 2022. Having arrived at Kennacraig for the ferry to Port Ellen I enjoyed this cloudy yet beautiful down West Loch Tarbert while waiting for the ferry to arrive to take me to Islay. No sight of Islay just yet, but a glimpse of Gigha in the distance.
