360° panorama from Beinn an Oir, Isle of Jura

A 360° view from Beinn an Oir, with 785m the highest of the Paps of Jura on the Isle of Jura. While not a perfect day the visibility was still good, the view takes in large parts of Jura as well as the east coast of the Isle of Islay on the other side of the Sound of Islay. Beinn Shiantaidh (757m) is visible just behind the summit trig point/cairn, unfortunately this is the one part of the panorama that didn't come out entirely right, sorry for the ‘ghost hill’. Beinn a'Chaolais (733m) is visible fully in the bright sun. Other places in view (sometimes just visible in the haze) include Ireland, the Isle of Gigha, the Isle of Arran, Colonsay and Oronsay and the Isle of Mull. Also watch out for two of the distilleries on Islay (Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain) and the lighthouses.

You can navigate by pointing your mouse over the panorama and moving it while pressing the mouse button. You can zoom in/out with the +/- controls just under the panorama. Some areas in the panorama are hotspots, if you move your mouse pointer over them a short explanation will show in the status bar of the panorama window. You can switch on/off highlighting of the hotspots by clicking on the arrow with the question mark below the panorama.
