Perhaps you wonder what this is all about? If you visit the Ardbeg Distillery Website and take a close look you will see what's happening on Islay at a certain time, randomly displayed. It's a nice feature and when you have ever visited Islay you can almost see it happen. On the mainland there is always the joke about "English/Scottish time". If you are not sure whether they are one hour before or behind European time you just remember that they are 1 hour and 25 years behind :-). And for Islay Time, you will find that out when you visit Islay......
