Port Charlotte Beach Panorama, Islay

A view over Port Charlotte on the Isle of Islay from the beach at Port Lag na Tràghadh. This panorama was taken on a warm summer morning in August 2006. On the far left Laggan Point just behind the anchored sailing yacht. On the horizon the big bulk of The Oa. The first glimpse of Port Charlotte comes into view with the pier, then Shore Street. The larger building is the back of the Port Charlotte Hotel. Right at the beach the old buildings of the former Port Charlotte/ Lochindaal Distillery. Part of it currently is in ruins (left), another part (right) is now used by the Islay Port Charlotte Youth Hostel and the Islay Wildlife Trust. You can just make out Abhainn Gearach running into Loch Indaal (behind the dinghy on the beach). Next to the holiday cottages the Croft Kitchen restaurant. On the small hill the Museum of Islay Life.

You can navigate by pointing your mouse over the panorama and moving it while pressing the mouse button. You can zoom in/out with the +/- controls just under the panorama. Some areas in the panorama are hotspots, if you move your mouse pointer over them a short explanation will show in the status bar of the panorama window.
