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.
A view from the MV Finlaggan on a stormy crossing from Port Ellen to Kennacraig in November 2024. I’m not entirely sure which cliffs are in the foreground, but I think it’s Cam Sgeir centre right with An Sgonnag behind on the left. Then Texa and behind it Islay in the distance.
