Known as “the Queen of the Hebrides”, Islay (pronounced eye-la), is the fifth largest Scottish island and is home to approximately 3,000 residents. It’s 25 miles long, with a diverse landscape of 23 beaches, high peaks and wilderness, sea lochs and dramatic cliffs, and characterful harbour towns and villages. Islay’s abundant wildlife was featured in Attenborough’s Wild Isles series, and it’s also famous for its whisky, with 10 distilleries on the island as well as specialist gin, rum and craft beer producers.

The Machrie has an established reputation for its internationally acclaimed championship links course overlooking the Atlantic. Another Place is introducing a number of new experiences to both complement its impressive golf offer and widen its appeal for everyone.
