A view from the Islay ferry to the mainland on a stormy November morning (notice the waves breaking at the rocks on the right). Slightly difficult to make out because its colours blend into the landscape, but if you look closely you can make out Dunyvaig castle towards the left. Behind it the famous Lagavulin distillery below the hills in the south east of Islay.
A view from a ferry at Port Ellen pier, looking over the water to some key Islay whisky sites. In the front some of the old warehouses from the original Port Ellen distillery, at some point shut down. Behind it to the right the industrial Port Ellen maltings and to the left the rebuilt and reopened distillery with lots of glass and other modern features.
A panoramic view over Port Ellen from the MV Finlaggan with boarding almost completed, just the Islay Crabs lorry still to be loaded. Taken on a stormy November 2024 morning.
