Watched from an arriving Islay ferry, the Port Ellen maltings and (reopened) distillery on an April evening, the Flying Dutchman, a regular visitor, anchored in front of it.

During a November 2025 walk out on Kilnaughton beach, looking across the bay to the Port Ellen maltings and the old Port Ellen distillery warehouses. If you look closely, hidden behind the trees you can just make out the new/rebuilt Port Ellen distillery.
