Regular visitors to Islay will mostly be familiar with the American Monument on the Oa and the history behind it with the Tuscania and Otranto shipwrecks in WWI. Still, history tour guide Bruce Fummey has created an interesting video about the history and the links between Scotland and the USA, well worth watching:
I hope you found the video interesting and informative, especially if you’re new to this part of Islay’s history.

Thank you! Always glad to see the lost of the Otranto remembered, including my grandmother’s uncle, a US Army soldier
