WITH the spectacular arrival of tens of thousands of barnacle geese on the island and a busy calendar of events, it’s worth returning to Islay in the autumn.
From September 29 to October 1, the Islay Book Festival is planning a lively programme of events aimed at offering variety, engagement – and especially fun.
Islay Book Festival first grew out of a book club based in the village of Port Ellen, hosting its first festival in 2006.
