Old Photograph Ballygrant Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Ballygrant, Islay, Scotland. This is the longest established village on Islay, pre-dating the clearance and distillery villages on the coast, and 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.
