The ‘barley boat’ brings said barley to Islay, to be malted at the Port Ellen maltings before it is transferred to the various distillery for whisky production. Here it is seen from an arriving Islay ferry while being unloaded at night.
A view from the ferry arriving on Islay, looking to the lighthouse at Carraig Fhada. Behind it some of the new houses next to Kilnaughton Bay, right above the beach.
