Port Aoineadh Ur No. 2 – A view to the north that demonstrates powerfully the dramatic topographic change that occurs all along Jura’s eastern coastline. The jagged port lies in the bottom portion of the image, while the cliff of Cnoc Ollabhair rises through old Atlantic maritime forest. In the centre and left of the image the modern tree plantation that surrounds Cnoc na Fritheilt can be seen. The right side of the distant landscape is dominated by the ridgeline that contains, left to right, Cnoc nam Binneag, Cnoc Breac Sgitheig, and Cnoc Breac.
