Welcome to Finlaggan in the Isle of Islay. For centuries, this was home to Clan MacDonald and the beating heart of the Lordship of the Isles. There are two important islands in Loch Finlaggan, Eilean Mòr or big island where I'm standing, reached now by a wooden walkway and the smaller (inaccessible) Eilean na Comhairle or Council island where a mini parliament of west coast clans was held. A court of 14 sat around a great stone table, listening to disputes while MacPhee of Colonsay kept records.

On the south coast of Islay, outside a wee ruined chapel, you'll find the Kildalton Cross. It was ornately carved in the 8th century and there aren't many in such incredible condition after 1300 years found anywhere in Scotland. If you've ever been to the Holy Isle of Iona, then you might think Kildalton looks familiar, the style is so close to the High Crosses there that it was almost certainly carved by the same artist. That's no surprise since Iona was the sacred place where island clan chief

This tranquil spot near the shore of Islay is Kilnave Chapel, reached by just a short walk through a field but with the ability to trasport you back in time. Unfortunately, that time wasn't quite as peaceful as today and in 1598, Kilnave played a part in the Battle of Traigh Ghruinneart, the last clan conflict on Islay. Lachlan Mor Maclean had sailed from Mull into Loch Gruinart to demand possession of the Rhinns of Islay. Understandably, the MacDonalds who lived there weren't so keen to just ha

This storm battered ruin on the coast of Islay is Dunyvaig Castle, the "Fort of the Galleys." Once a naval powerbase for the Lords of the Isles, its turbulent history is only just matched by its dramatic location. It's thought that this mound above a sheltered bay probably held a prehistoric fort, but the first castle that we would recognise was built by Somerled in the 12th century. This was a warlord whose name has gone down in history and legend. Through clever marriages, political manoeuvrin

You’ll probably best know Islay worldwide for its single malt, but it’s got SO much more to offer than Whisky! We spent just over 24 hours there .. here’s what you can do in that time or even longer .. Enjoy your ferry trip over, the scenery is spectacular .. if you’re on the Finlaggan, you’ll especially enjoy a little bit of luxury .. 1. Check out the crystal clear waters and beautiful white sands at Machir Bay, arguably one of Islay’s finest beaches (and there’s a lot more stunning beaches tha
