One of the few distilleries in Scotland still doing some of their own maltings (of which three are on Islay) is Kilchoman distillery. Here some smoke is swirling around the pagoda.

An April evening on the west coast of Islay. The sun is reflecting on the water of Machir Bay and the North Channel, stretching out to the Atlantic. The view is from the Kilchoman dunes, looking towards Coull Point and Eilean an Tannais-sgeir to the left of it.
