Bowmore Distillery offers the chance to stay at the heart of one of Scotland's oldest distilleries. Cottages are all beautifully renovated to 4 Star Visit Scotland standard and located within or beside the distillery complex. We are based in the Old Bakery which has five large twin rooms all with en-suites and a double room with a four-poster bed. In addition to a spacious kitchen, there is wireless internet to help you keep in touch.

Meals will be in a variety of local restaurants during our stay and breakfast will be served in the Harbour Inn directly opposite the Old Bakery. Packed lunches will be supplied for photographic excursions.

Photographic locations have all been thoroughly researched by Colin and he will be keen to show you some of the finest locations in Islay and share his own knowledge about the area. Excursions will be made in the Bowmore people carrier as will our evening trips to local restaurants.

The excursion on Thursday to Jura on Islay Sea Safaris will give participants the opportunity to shoot not only the coastline of Islay but the Paps of Jura as well and will terminate at the Jura Hotel where we will enjoy a seafood lunch.

Our final afternoon will be feature a VIP Distillery Tour and will include the unique opportunity to experience some of the oldest and rarest Bowmore expressions. This will be followed by a gourmet whisky paired meal at the Harbour Inn.
