A view from an Islay ferry approaching Port Ellen, the famous Laphroaig distillery in some beautiful mild April evening light

The counterpart to the view over Loch Laphroaig with Laphroaig distillery, here the view is from outside the maltings over the distillery and then out to the loch. All still under the amazing bright blue sky on the April 2026 afternoon.
