Picture of a small filling station in an island villageEasily missed by visitors searching for fuel for their cars as there is no real forecourt, only a single pump on kerb in front of a building that doesn’t look too different from any other shop. Yet it is Bowmore’s only petrol station (or gas station for Americans).
