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.
