Many of the distilleries have teams competing at the annual Islay beach rugby tournament (admittedly not all the players work for the distillery). Here the teams of Bruichladdich and Ardbeg play each other at a tournament a few years ago. In the background two other games take place.
I’m not sure from which year this is, but it was one of the games in an Islay Beach Rugby tournament a few years ago. I think the team in blue was of Kilchoman distillery, unfortunately don’t know where the other team was from.
A view over Kilnaughton Bay and Port Ellen on the other side of the bay from the dunes behind the beach. Kilnaughton beach just below, partially hidden by the dunes. The pier with one of the Calmac ferries serving Islay on the right. Port Ellen Maltings and the distillery warehouses on the left. In the background in the far distance the hills of the mainland.
