One of Islay’s largest villages, Port Ellen, seen from the air. Frederick Crescent stretches around the shore of Loch Leòdamais, lit up by the Sun breaking through the clouds. Lennox Street turns off it leading east towards the three southern distilleries. One of them is visible in the distance on the right, Laphroaig distillery.
Guarding the entrance to Islay’s main port Port Ellen is Carraig Fhada lighthouse, here seen from the air. The port with the centre of Port Ellen in the distance on the right. The Port Ellen Maltings and distillery warehouses can be seen just to the left of the lighthouse. In the far distance on the right you can even just make out Laphroaig distillery.
A place familiar to many seen from a different vantage point. The warehouses of the long closed Port Ellen distillery next to the Port Ellen maltings on Islay. The White Hart beach just below us with the A846 leading out north towards Bowmore.
