Islay

When you first see how small the island of Islay is, you may think there won't be much to do. Big mistake! This is called the Queen of the Hebrides, and is a true natural wonder. Famous for its distilleries with their smoky whiskey (especially smoky due to the peat used in the preparation), including Lagavulin, Caol Ila, Bowmore, Laphroaig, and Kilchoman, the island also boasts beaches, bays, castles, churches, lakes, mountains, seals, deer, cliffs, parks, rivers, fog ... absolutely everything!

We were left with a strong desire to come back soon. The food is wonderful, especially the seafood, using local produce like shrimp and crayfish.
