Much of this was thanks to the fact that it was not just grain that the seas brought with them, but also the clement Gulf Stream. Its comparative warmth continues to make Islay picturesque and ideal for farming, fishing and, of course, distilling fine whisky. In fact, for the Mariner who has been at sea for a time, you can see why Islay and Bunnahabhain are described  ‘as a welcome return to civilisation.’
