A view back to Port Ellen around Loch Leodamais from a walk across the Ard to the Swan’s Pool in June 2025. Port Ellen marina and the pier with the grain silo in the centre. The maltings just visible in the distance towards the right.
A slightly hidden gem on Islay, Swan’s pool behind the Ard in Port Ellen. A beautiful sheltered small natural harbour protected by rock formations just off the entrance.
Another view of the rocks and cliffs off the Ard at Port Ellen on a stormy November morning during storm Bert. This view is from the moving ferry on the way to Kennacraig. On the right you can see Texa, if you look closely you can also spot Laphroaig distillery in the distance on the left.
