Having just left Port Askaig for a crossing to Kennacraig on the mainland the Islay ferry MV Finlaggan is gathering speed to cruise down the Sound of Islay.
Sometimes I wonder if these creels are placed on the piers (they also often found at the piers at other distilleries) deliberately to make the view of the distilleries even better and provide some detail in the foreground. Like here at Ardbeg on the south coast of Islay.
