A slightly closer look of Port Ellen distillery and maltings from the air, taken with a DJI Phantom 4 back in June 2015. With the distillery now being rebuild this view will change significantly.

A view from the Islay ferry arriving in Port Ellen, looking over to the old Port Ellen distillery and the modern Port Ellen maltings. The Thalassa, a regular visitor to Islay, is moored just off them.
