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

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.

An idyllic moment at work this afternoon, while checking on the condition of some populations of #tansy and apple #mint for a little later in the season.

A solid shift on the #BotanistGin #cocktail bar for #Bruichladdich #Distillery Open Day, part of the #FeisIle (#festival) on the #IsleOfIslay. Home now, knackered, dusty and sticky - fun times though.

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...

Pollen release from male #juniper cones on the south coast of #IsleOfIslay. 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

(1/2) A grave slab in St Nechtan's Chapel, at Kilnaughton, #Islay.
According to Canmore: 'Tapered slab, 1.88m by 0.65m, bearing in relief the full-length effigy of a man in armour. The slab is bordered by a roll-moulding, and the bottom left corner is chamfered.
