Picture of an old style red phone box at a small road going down a hill to a sound between two islandsI had hoped to get the distillery into view, but couldn’t really find an angle to show Caol Ila distillery in any way. So instead you can catch a glimpse of the Paps of Jura on the other side of the Sound of Islay in the distance. Also one of Mundell’s lorries coming up the hill. I’m not sure where the door of the red phone box was at the time, what I do know is that it was getting a fresh coat of paint when I took the picture in April 2017.

I believe there used to be another one at the other end of the village, near the junction to the road past the malting and out to the Oa, outside Tighcargaman, but that’s long gone.
