"Queen of the Hebrides"

Portnahaven Isle of Islay, this is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides and is a ferry trip of around 2 hours 15 minutes from the mainland at Kintyre.

Islay is one of five whisky distilling localities and regions in Scotland whose identities are protected by law, and is home to around 10 distilleries. Whisky is also linked with the Isle of Jura, which is a short distance across the fast flowing Sound of Jura

Large Recommended. HBM and a nice week to all

A wonderful capture my friend. Those Island names are making my mouth water with the tang of good single malts. This looks like seal country and maybe the odd otter too. Great stuff. Well done.

HBM, enjoy the day. Herb
