The Isles

Carte Iles

IslayLowlandsThe Scottish coast is surrounded by isles where whisky is produced, specially on the West coast (Mull, Skye, Arran and Jura) and on the North (Orkney)
The most important island from a whisky point of view is Islay, but this one is considered as a production area on its own.

For a quick description and a map of the producing areas, please click on the map on the left.
