A view from the hills in the far north of Islay, looking over the north coast around Bholsa. Bholsa caves at the beach in the centre of the picture. Mala Bholsa in the distance on the left. If you look closely you can just make out Oronsay and Colonsay on the horizon across the sea.
A view from the track to Oronsay farm and priory, looking over to Islay (towards the right) and Jura (towards the left). Eilean Ghaoideamal in the mid distance. If you look closely you can just make out Rhuvaal lighthouse at the far northern end of Islay right in the centre of the picture.

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.
