Painting Bowmore Distillery, Isle of Islay

Picture of two men in white painter overall standing next to a whitewashed buildingMost distilleries are in large white buildings, a colour which changes relatively quickly in the often harsh weather on Islay. Meaning they need quite regular painting. This is a building of Bowmore distillery receiving a fresh coat of paint several years back. It might well have been painted again since then.
