About Islay

Islay is an island off the west coast of Scotland, some 30 miles north of Northern Ireland. The island is famous for its whisky distilleries, amazing wildlife, beautiful beaches, lovely villages and welcoming locals, known as Ileachs. Currently around 3,000 folk live on the island, a small percentage still speak the Gaelic language.

The images below give access to many info pages. In these pages I want to give you first hand info on Islay, its beaches, villages and lots more.

The photos are all taken by myself and can be purchased either by making an enquiry directly to me or by visiting the Islay Prints section Here
