Finlaggan near Port Askaig on the Isle of Islay. This is an enormously important place in the history of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. During most of the 1300s and 1400s it was the administrative centre of the Lords of the Isles. More pics & info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/finlaggan/index.html

The pretty village of Portnahaven, standing near the western tip of the Isle of Islay on the Rhinns of Islay, the peninsula that wraps around the north side of Loch Indaal as it takes its huge bite out of the west side of the island.

The Islay to Jura ferry approaching Port Askaig on Islay, with the distinctive Paps of Jura in the background. The five-minute ferry trip takes you to the wildest and emptiest of all Scotland's inhabited islands. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/jura/ferry/index.html

I can't tell you how much I love living here. Admittedly, my house is not one of these pretty ones around the bay, but I don't care about that at all either.
Port Ellen. 💚

Still a bit wet on the ground out there, but the forecast is good. Hardened off #cabbage, #broccoli, #KohlRabi, and pod #radish will get planted out today and hopefully get the #peas planted too.
The slugs will be thrilled...

We're surveying and mapping across the island, plotting to #QGIS, and when it's appropriate taking cuttings to propagate and replant back into the wild to support vulnerable populations. An ongoing, small scale #conservation project for my colleague and I.

Bowmore Distillery, in the heart of the village of Bowmore beside Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay. It has its own maltings, so the pagodas are not just for show. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/bowmoredistillery/index.html
