The local harvest … |
Black Gold, but not Texas Tea: Islay Peat. |
Out by the Lagavulin Distillery — seals. |

Back in the day, a way around the Revenuers. |
Nah … didn’t drive in the UK (but prolly coulda on Islay). |

A couple of English-German heritage. |
Yes. We saw sheep. |
Looking out from the Lagavulin Distellery … |
You get a view of Dunyvaig Castle … |
Our driver took us by the largest home on Islay (back, older) … |

The “Round Church” of Bowmore. |
Highway’s a lot different than Houston … |
Islay traffic. |
