Islay with a Dug

Pic:  @jwbassman Visiting Islay with a dug (dog)? Here's a wee guide to the distilleries Gus and I visited in April 2019. Hopefully this can help some folks planning a trip. NOTE: None of the distilleries allow dogs on tours, the only one that does (that I know of) is the excellent Lindores Abbey in Fife. Ardbeg No dogs allowed inside the premises (which was a bit gutting as the cafe is so good) but they are allowed around the grounds which made for some good pictures. Ardnahoe No dogs allowed inside. Bowmore Dogs allowed in the shop and the bar. Gus's favorite area was round the back of Warehose No.1 which provided first class toilet facilities with some stunning views. Bruichladdich Really dog friendly shop. Treats, water and hugs provided. Excellent. Bunnahabhain Same story as Bruichladdich. Spent 30 mins here in the shop just chatting while Gus slept on the floor. Caol Ila Diageo.. No dogs allowed inside b
