As of writing this the SY Drum isn’t sailing any more, but it was back in 2010 it was still in action. Here it is anchored at Port Ellen in front of the old distillery and the maltings, seen from the arriving ferry.

Another take on the tall ship anchored off Bowmore on a cloudy June day on Islay. Picture courtesy of my sister Imke.
