A cloudy view of Bowmore at the shore of Loch Indaal from the Battery. Bowmore distillery on the shore. The large building on the right belongs to Islay High School, not the distillery, despite the pagodas. Also note the Paps of Jura in the distance.
Some Barnacle Geese passing Gartbreck near Bowmore in April 2014. Most of the geese have left by that time of year, these were some of the last remaining ones, soon to leave as well. The view is from Gartbreck over to Bowmore (you can see the Round Church’s tower and roof towards the right). May be the geese were spooked by the yellow helicopter landing near Bowmore?
Unfortunately a view long gone, the bakery closed many years ago, leaving Islay without a bakery. Recently a small bread baker has started up, but there is no full time baker on Islay at the moment.
