Another replica Islay road sign

Islay Fun

Another post on this bank holiday weekend while enjoying a dram of my selected bank holiday Islay whisky. A follow up in a way to a post from December last year. During my visit in November last year I bought a Port Charlotte replica road sign at The Celtic House in Bowmore, this year in June I bought one of its siblings:

This one is the B8018 to Kilchoman sign, nicely complementing the A847 to Port Charlotte sign. As you can see it nicely fits on the other side of my Gaelic Islay map, especially as it points to the right, on to the map.

There are plenty of other signs available for other places on Islay and Jura, hopefully of your favourite place as well. If you have one let me know which one you’ve picked and where you’ve put it.

With Christmas just around the corner I remembered I should write about an Islay present some of you might like, available at The Celtic House in Bowmore. I came across them during my visit in June and have one hanging on my wall at home. It’s a replica Islay road sign, in my case pointing to Port Charlotte:

I think they are really well done, they even have some rust spots even though they are not made of metal. I’ve put it next to my Gaelic map of Islay and Jura:

The ones currently in stock you’ll find under Islay and Jura Road Signs in the Celtic House shop. Further signs should become available again in spring 2025.

Of course you’ll also find plenty other Islay books and gifts, browse their online shop or drop into the store in Bowmore.
