The first full day on Islay - the calm before
the downpour at Ardnave!

The weather on the day we had on
Jura was excellent and the view of
Craighouse and the Sound of Jura
was outstanding...

...almost incredible for November.

Elegance and grace on the calm, blue waters
of the Sound of Jura at Craighouse.

The last full day on Islay - the dramatically
positioned American monument on the Oa and...

...the Paps of Jura across the Sound of
Islay from Ardnahoe Distillery.
