The most southern of the Scottish Inner Hebridean islands, Islay is the eighth-largest isle in Britain. Much of beautiful Islay is peat, useful for making the island's famous whisky. Salt spray soaks the peat, giving it a distinctive briny characteristic that makes sought-after spirits. Book a tour to visit the nine distilleries on Islay, including best-selling Laphroaig. Islay also hosts a lively seasonal calendar of events and getting here by ferry from the port of Kennacraig is easy.
