THE MUSEUM OF ISLAY LIFE

If you want to vary your visits and discover the life of Islay, this small local museum is perfect. Located in an old church in Port Charlotte, it traces the history of the island with nearly 3,000 objects and a few thousand photographs, dating back 12,000 years. The museum brings together a rare collection of objects, books, photographs and stories illustrating life on Islay from prehistoric times to the present day. The Victorian and Edwardian eras are particularly well represented. The museum has its own store and library.
