Old photograph of house and cottages in Ballygrant, Island Of Islay, Scotland. Ballygrant is the longest established village on Islay, pre-dating the clearances and whisky distillery villages on the coast. Nearby place names suggest connections to Viking times. Ballygrant means 'Town of Grain' and the water powered mill, now demolished, was turning oats into meal up until the early 20th century.
