This is a view of Port Ellen, our first stopping point on Islay.  It is a wonderful little town, served by one of two ferry landing points on Islay. 

This is the B&B we stayed in while in downtown Port Ellen.  It is called Caladh Sona, and is in a great location, right in the center of town, right on the water front.  Our hosts were great and were very helpful in getting us where we needed to go.

Nice view of one of the 'back street' neighborhoods of Port Ellen.  We walked around here quite a bit and liked all of it.

The memorial to Islay's Great War Dead.  This is right in the center of the harbour area.

There are so many great little gardens it would be hard to pick a favorite but this one certainly rated high with us.  Might be because it is right on the waterfront and the background is hard to surpass.
