Photo gallery – Islay

What can I say about Islay?  The endless beaches of Loch Indaal and Machir Bay, the secret coves sheltering seals and eiders, the magic of Finlaggan, the superb 8th century Kildalton Cross, thousands of overwintering geese… and of course, nine whisky distilleries!

Here are just a few of our favourite images. We have hundreds more, but it’s impossible to show them all here.  And there are so many more just waiting to be taken… looking at these pictures makes us want to go back.
