Cruises from Isle of Islay

The Isle of Islay - pronounced ‘eye-la’ – is the southernmost of the 35 islands of the Inner Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland. It is known as "The Queen of the Hebrides". Today one quarter of its 3000 inhabitants speak Scottish Gaelic. Ireland lies 33 km to the south, across the North Irish Sea. On a clear day you can see over to Ireland. The residents are most welcoming of visitors as evidenced by their very ‘homey’ yet sophisticated Inns.
