There are many ways to discover Islay, either by foot, by car, by boat, by surfing the net or by using an interactive map with lots of pictures. Already a while back I created an interactive Islay map with Islay pictures and today I have updated the map and added a lot of new pictures. The map contains 55 images and shows a lot of familiar sites on Islay. It looks a bit like the Geograph project but I used a real map instead.
When I was going through my pictures from last year I came across the one on the right. I like this picture a lot and took it when we visited the Bunnahabhain Distillery. On the picture is Ardnahoe Loch which is halfway between Persabus and Bunnahabhain. A wonderful drive with stunning views towards the Isle of Jura and if you're lucky with the weather you can spot Rhuvaal Lighthouse in the distance.
I took the second picture from exactly the same position looking north towards Bunnahabhain. It doesn't look like a typical Islay scenery but that's one of the many reasons that makes Islay so special. The variety of scenery is huge and around every corner there's a new surprise waiting for you.
