A view down Bowmore’s School Street from just outside the school. Loch Indaal visible in the distance. About half way down on the left you can make out workmen painting Bowmore distillery.
I assume it’s now at Bowmore distillery (who commissioned it from the Islay Quilters), but back in summer 2000 when I took this picture this quilt depicting the history of whisky on Islay and Jura was hanging at Laphroaig distillery.
The view is quite different now, but this is how Islay’s most northern distillery looked in 2005. The wreck of the Wyre Majestic just visible in the Sound of Islay on the left.
