Most people take a picture like this, so here is mine, taken by my sister Imke. This was a few years ago, during a joint visit to Islay by my sister and me. Laphroaig is always one of our stops.

A view of the remains of Torradale farm, the farm the Johnstons leased land from and stayed at when they started up Laphroaig distillery. The distillery warehouses can be seen in the background, the distillery itself is mostly hidden behind the trees. Thanks to James Cameron and Pat McGrann who took us here during the Islay walking week.
