A blustery day...

Bowmore Distillery at around 14.45 this afternoon

Orsay Island at around 11.30 this morning

A couple of snaps from the island this morning.  Force ten today and all the schools were closed, but not a big deal by Islay standards.  I believe conditions were actually worse on the mainland.

Photos from Bowmore Distillery

This is part of a collection of photographs donated to the Museum of Islay Life by Bowmore Distillery in 1998.  We do not have a record of the photographer's name, which is a great shame as whoever he (she?) was these are quality images taken by a skilled hand.  Can anybody help?  Does anyone recognise any of the folk in the pictures?
The fishing boats will have been engaged in the annual Fishing Boat Race in Port Ellen.  The Crawfish are very impressive specimens, and the boy with the jar of tiddlers is on the shore in Bowmore harbour.
