FERRY WATCHING<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have lots of beaches, some hills and moors and it is very beautiful here. The weather on Islay is usually windy and wet and we have lots of powercuts, but we have lots of lovely wildlife. You can get to Islay using a plane or the ferry; the ferry journey takes about 2 hours and the plane 20 minutes from Glasgow. About 3,000 people live on Islay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The four\u00a0 primary schools on the island are Port Ellen,\u00a0 Bowmore, Port Charlotte and Keills, with Small Isles on Jura.\u00a0 We live in Port Ellen, a village and a port.\u00a0 People in the village work on the land, in the whisky distilleries and fish in the sea. There are currently 12 working distilleries on Islay, including the newly opened Port Ellen and newly built Portintruan right next to the school!\u00a0 There is also the maltings that malts the barley to make whisky.\u00a0 Port Ellen has playing fields, a small supermarket and other shops.\u00a0 There are lots of things to see and do on Islay, like the Kildalton cross, the RSPB reserves and the Islay Museum.
