Machir Bay Islay

Machir Bay,Islay Please view large This is a beautiful bay and the wreck is believed to be that of an old steamship called Patti, wrecked in the 1840's, although not much more is known about it The link is 'Hammer and Nail' by Suzy Bogguss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qxrbYovDLI It probably needs more than a hammer and nail but the lyrics seem to fit 'Nail and Hammer, Hammer and Nail I need a lifeboat that is set to sail.....'

Portnahaven, Islay, 'Queen of the Hebrides'. An attractive 19th century planned village with a sheltered harbour and view of the Atlantic, and the best placed mailbox I have come across. The villagers were originally predominantly fishermen and crofters. Sadly, one of the houses has long been abandoned to the elements, It would have had amazing views and is such a shame. My link here is 'Ain't That A Shame' by Fats Domino. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8CFeNxLXCo Please view large
