Shipwreck in the Sand.

Kilchoman sands, Machir Bay, Island of Islay, Reputed to be the wreck of a brig called the MARY ANN of Greenock which was wrecked on the Kilchoman strand in heavy gales, 22 May 1859, The brig was loaded with wines and spirits. folklore says there were scenes of looting, and a good number of cases of whisky were drunk in a very short time,
Islay's version of Whisky Galore I guess.
