Picture showing a boathouse where work is being carried out, seen from a passing ferryA view from the Islay ferry in April 2016, looking towards Ardfin on Jura, on the left also Am Fraoch Eilean. The building in the centre is the old Ardfin boathouse, to my knowledge currently being converted to some kind of cafe or bar on the new Jura golf course. But the boathouse is also famous for something else, as far as I know it’s where the KLF burned £1,000,000 back in 1994.
