There’s a chambered cairn at Cragabus. The chamber and part of the facade comprise virtually all that now remains of this chambered cairn, which is situated 60 metres SW of Lower Cragabus at the NW end of a rocky knoll known as Creag Mhor.

The green, craggy isle of Islay off Scotland’s west coast is famous for its stunning scenery, wildlife and — most of all — its whisky. Scroll through to see more. Known as the “Whisky Isle,” it is home to nine of Scotland’s 145 active distilleries, with two more expected to open this year.

But off course there is also Gin to. That’s what is important for us.

Nerabus Islay Gin is a juniper led London Dry Gin. It is delicate by nature as it is mixed with Isle of Islay water making the Gin more pure. It is infused with Islay Heather and this brings a sweet and slightly earthy flavour and smell – delicious. Family firm, based on the Island of Islay in the Scottish Hebrides.

Lussa Gin is an expression of our wild landscape on the Isle of Jura, situated off Scotland’s west coast. For us that means growing, gathering and distilling fifteen zesty and aromatic botanicals so we can pack as much local flavour into every bottle as we can.

Gin Botanist Islay James Donaldson edited

The man at the heart of production at The Botanist Gin shares his travel experiences

The Botanist Gin head forager James Donaldson is responsible for hand-picking the 22 locally-grown botanicals used to make the spirit. These days, Donaldson spends most of his days on remote Islay, a “rock in the Atlantic” in his words. Yet this professional forager is very well travelled – and never leaves home without an apple or a tea towel.
