As of writing this the SY Drum isn’t sailing any more, but it was back in 2010 it was still in action. Here it is anchored at Port Ellen in front of the old distillery and the maltings, seen from the arriving ferry.

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.
