Islay’s location
The Isle of Islay, the Queen of the Hebrides, is found off the west coast of Scotland and is one of the most accessible of the Scottish islands. It is approximately 100 miles due west of Glasgow while the southern tip of the island is roughly 25 miles north of Northern Ireland’s Antrim coast.
The Kintyre Express links up Islay and Northern Ireland and links up Ballycastle on the Antrim Coast to Port Ellen on Islay. This opens up the opportunity to play Royal Portrush, Portstewart, Castle Rock, Ballyliffin as well as exploring Northern Ireland.
