Tour Scotland Travel Video Of Old Photographs Of Port Ellen Island Of Islay

Tour Scotland travel video of old photographs of Port Ellen, Island Of Islay, Scotland. Port Ellen is built around Loch Leodamais, Islay's main deep water harbour. It is the largest town on Islay, only slightly larger than Bowmore and provides the main ferry connection between Islay and the mainland, at Kennacraig. The Port Ellen Distillery was first established in the 1820s and ceased production of Scotch whisky in 1983. The large malting continues to produce for the majority of the distilleries on Islay. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
