Sometimes the lure of lush hospitality is too great to ignore. The first time I visited Islay, Scotland’s glorious whisky island, I spent 5 delicious nights at Glenegedale House. Now that I own a place on this delightful island, I’ve also done a wee staycation…

Islay whisky is famous for their peatiness. The island, pronounced EYE-lah, is home to 9 active distilleries, and… me! In March 2021, I bought a wee flat on Islay and made it my little sanctuary. So, maybe you could call me an expert on the…
