A memory from 2010, as the wreck of the Wyre Majestic has now pretty much completely disappeared. The ship ran aground in 1974 just off Bunnahabhain in the Sound of Islay.

A view from the pier at old and new parts of Bunnahabhain distillery in the north of Islay. On the left the older warehouse with the famous Bunnahabhain lettering, visible from far away. Next to it used to be another warehouse with the word ‘distillery’ on the wall, which was demolished. It has been replaced by a very nice purpose built visitor centre with a balcony and stunning views north over the Sound of Islay.
