In Peru we have a place named "Islay" too. It is incredible to know that exist an island in Scotland with this same name.

Had the opportunity to work on islay a few times, everybody is so friendly loved it

[samholmessailing]

Great video. I’ll be sailing there tomorrow!

Regarding whisky, you've got something wrong: Bruichladdich is not the only distillery on Islay making unpeated malt. Bunnahabhainn also makes unpeated malts.

[davidbroughall]

Bruichladdich makes the only unpeated whisky on Islay? Have you not heard of Bunnahabhain?

Currently sat in my room in the harbour Inn next to the bowmore distillery having done a tour of Laphroaig and a tasting at Lagavulin earlier today. Can 100% confirm it's a great location. Nice quiet roads friendly locals and great seafood and whiskey.
I will definitely be coming back again.
Sad to be leaving tomorrow having only arrived yesterday. 🙁

This is my home....I am indigenous to this island...and I have visited the wee isle...our familie's

[ArbitraryExploration]

Incredible place! So beautiful! Thank you for sharing! :)

I've wanted to go to the Hebrides since my 20s & it hasn't happened yet, but... I think the calm you mention, as you show all that green moss etc is due to the green. At least I love all those colors & textures! Bright colors are not for me. I appreciate finding this tonight because this morning I was wondering where he wrote that book & you answered for me! Strong contender to visit. Thank you!

[adammcdaniel]

I’ll be there in less than 2 weeks for my first visit. Great video!

[FinlagganYT]

There is also Lagavulin and Bowmore distilleries

The highest summit on a Islay is Beinn Bheigeir which is nearly 500m high

I’m Scottish I’ve never been I’m just watching this bc I’m named after that Island lol

[sundialsoft]

To be honest unless you want to tour the distilleries or try out the golf course there's not much else on Islay. We only found one dog friendly cafe (called 'Labels') and there is only one real campsite if you are in a campervan or tent at Port Mor beside Port Charlotte. We visited in September 2019. We enjoyed going over to Jura and camped overnight at Corran Sands. We did buy some gin (the Botanist) and whisky on Islay. The ferry company Calmac have very friendly helpful staff though they can't seem to be punctual so just 9/10 for the ferries.

Man if this doesn't make me pull the trigger on those plane tickets idk what will.
