While spring is hopefully on its way today is rather grey and dull where I am at the moment, a good time to catch up on some Islay reading. So here are a few Islay related links I came across recently:
- Forbes shares 5 Things You Should Know About Bessie Williamson, The First Woman To Own Laphroaig
- The Guardian reports about the discussion about a proposed salmon fish farm off Gigha, just across the Sound of Jura from Islay
- The Press & Journal writes about the changes at the (soon former) Islay Hotel in Port Ellen, which will become the “Ardbeg House”
- Scottish Housing News has an update on the 16 new homes being built in Port Charlotte on the Rhinns of Islay
- A different Islay with a different fire engine than we’re used to, but this article mentions an Islay Fire Hall (I assume that’s what we call Fire Station) and has a picture of an Islay Fire Truck (aka fire engine)
- Bruce has a nice picture of a female Hen Harrier at Gruinart on Islay
- A short report on Islay RNLI assist stricken fishing boat off Jura
- The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society shares memories from a visit to Islay SCD
That’s all I’ve got for now, I hope you found some of the links interesting. More to come some other time.
