Approaching Jura and the Sound of Islay
A view from the Calmac ferry returning to Kennacraig from Oban via Colonsay and Port Askaig on Islay. In summer this route permits day trips to Colonsay from Islay and Kennacraig, with magnificent views throughout. Here the ferry is nearing the Sound of Islay on its return to Kennacraig, with the Paps of Jura visible in the distance. Possibly due to the height of these hills being less than the 914 metres required for Munro status, Jura has remained a quiet and very beautiful place - the most enchanting in the UK imho. And this is one of my favourite views of Jura - its white shore and far green country glimpsed as the day nears its end. Not easily forgotten.
