A view of the ruined house at the historic seat of the Lords of the Isles at Finlaggan on Islay. Taken on the same beautiful July morning where I also took the view of the ruin from the air.

Ruin at Finlaggan from the air, Isle of Islay
Image
An unusual view of a small part of Finlaggan from the air, looking straight down. This is one of the better preserved ruins, believed to be a 16/17th century dwelling (also described as MacGilleasbuig’s house). On the right you can make out part of the foundations of the Great Hall, on the left the water of Loch Finlaggan.

A view of Finlaggan from the south, looking at the home of the Lords of the Isles on Islay from a different direction than usual. Right in front of us Eilean na Comhairle. Behind it Eilean Mòr with the various ruins of the old buildings. The Finlaggan visitors centre just visible in the distance.
