Bowmore from near Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay

Walking back to my car after visiting Olistadh I enjoyed this nice view of Bowmore. The old centre with the distillery towards the left. The main distillery warehouses and some of the newer houses towards the right.

An impression from the archaeological dig at Olistadh on the Rhinns of Islay in June 2024. If you look closely you can just make out the Port Charlotte water treatment plant in the distance towards the left, the village of Port Charlotte is at the shore of Loch Indaal behind it.
