[MM-MALTS-L] Pilgrimage to Islay

[djrussobik at aol.com]

Three favorite spots of mine, not yet mentioned by others:

?(1) Finlaggan (historical site off the main road to?Port Askaig), especially on a misty or drizzly day.? A magical place that transcends time and can hurl you back hundreds of years,

?(2) The Glen Road (back road from Bridgend to Ballygrant,near Port Askaig) on a sunny day:? A lovely, pastoral and quiet part of Islay, with Islays peaks all around, and the Paps of Jura visible in the background.? A beautiful and peaceful loop -- but beware the cattle if you are on foot or cycling,

?(3)? The bakery near the wharf in Bowmore (a few doors down from the Islay Gift Shop/C&E Roy):? Delicious, unpretentious (working-class) food!? The meatpies and other pastries are "to die for" and very inexpensive.? I usually take one meal a day there when I am on Islay.? Yum!? : )

? Hope these are helpful.? Makes me wish I was there right now!?? 

? Slainte!
??? Dave

Have the picnic on the rocks between the Ardbeg warehouse and the sea.? It's a lovely place to sip a dram and Ardbeg does go very nicely with oysters.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the suggestion but I already know that spot well!? Beautiful indeed.
