  • The Landscapes of Scotland 51 Islay and Colonsay
    The Landscapes of Scotland Descriptions 51 - 60 51 Islay and Colonsay 52 Jura 53 Knapdale and Kilmartin 54 Cowal and Bute 55 Lomond 56 Kinross-shire and Howe of Fife 57 East Fife 58 Lennox Hills 59 Edinburgh and Firth of Forth 60 Lothian and Borders Coast 51 Islay and Colonsay Description Islay is low-lying island. It has a varied and indented coast, with open sandy bays contrasting with craggy headlands and skerries. It is renowned for its whisky, having eight distilleries with their distinctive buildings. Tourism and traditional agriculture are the other economic mainstays; many come to Islay to watch the spectacular populations of geese and cliff birds. Away from the distillery buildings, the settlement pattern is mostly agricultural with small crofting settlements near the low- lying coastal areas. Colonsay lies to the north. It is fringed by sandy beaches and is also known for its bird life. Prehistoric and mediaeval monuments, such as Mesolithic mounds and stone crosses, survived relatively well here due to less land-use pressure.
