Picture of a cottage on a small island next to a larger islandIn this view from the ferry to Port Ellen it looks like this cottage is on Islay, in reality it is on the small island of Texa just off the south coast of Islay. It’s not occupied any more but to my knowledge still in reasonable shape and occasionally used.
