Bowmore Distillery. The image shows a view of the white-painted buildings of the distillery. There’s a wall left foreground and a gateway on the right. Beyond is a gable end with the name of the distillery and a little further away another building topped off by two tall pagodas. The sky is blue.
Bowmore Distillery, in the heart of the village of Bowmore beside Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay. It has its own maltings, so the pagodas are not just for show. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...
