Picture of a small freighter moored at a pier at night being unloadedThe ‘barley boat’ brings said barley to Islay, to be malted at the Port Ellen maltings before it is transferred to the various distillery for whisky production. Here it is seen from an arriving Islay ferry while being unloaded at night.
