Islay & Fèis Ìle - The Island That Tastes Like the Sea, the Peat, and Everything Wonderful

Lesley has just visited Islay during Fèis Ìle, the Islay Festival of Music and Malt, the annual event that turns this island of 3,200 people into the whisky capital of the world for ten days every May. In this episode: the ferry crossing that looked like a film, Port Ellen on a warm May evening, an Ardnahoe guide who made everyone laugh while teaching them things, the Paps of Jura from across the water at Bunnahabhain, an accidental stop at Islay's first rum distillery (the Old Lemonade Factory), a parade through Port Ellen led by a pipe band with the festival committee in 1980s shell suits, and, most unexpectedly, afternoon tea with the festival committee in the Gaelic Centre while husband James performed close-up magic at the tables. The freshest, most personal episode of the series. Our Scots Word of the Week: dram. Want to be part of it? Send your Scotland Stories to hello@everythingscotland.com
