Most people take a picture like this, so here is mine, taken by my sister Imke. This was a few years ago, during a joint visit to Islay by my sister and me. Laphroaig is always one of our stops.

During the Islay walking week 2014 we walked to the summit of Islay’s highest hill, where David took this picture at the end of our lunch break. Behind me is the shore around Proaig, the bothy at Proaig is to the right of my left shoulder.
