A view from a ferry crossing to Islay in July some years ago, looking over to Laphroaig distillery near Port Ellen. The core distillery with the old warehouse no 1 on the right, the more modern warehouses on the left.

A popular stop on the journey to Islay, just a few miles from the ferry terminal in Kennacraig. An impression from a July evening a good number of years ago, looking across the harbour to the fishing boats, the ruin of the old castle on the hill above.

A view from Islay’s neighbour Gigha, standing just above one of the Twin Beaches. In the distance the Paps of Jura.
